Indicators

• Contract modified due to additional needs.

Legal Justification

Interoperability and Interchangeability - a new supplier cannot provide the services without causing incompatibility issues and a replacement of hardware/software would be required leading to additional costs. Economically Disproportionate - Any new supplier would have a mobilization fee whereas the incumbent would not. This would cause a duplication of costs for WM5G. Significant inconvenience - The change would cause major disruptions to 331 residents involved in the project, not only in loss of continuity of service but also to their wellbeing as a new service provider would have to enter their homes.
