Indicators

• Contract modified due to additional needs.

Legal Justification

The additional supplies have become necessary to ensure continuity and performance of the existing infrastructure. The additional equipment must be sourced from the original contractor for technical and interoperability reasons as a change of supplier would cause significant inconvenience, duplication of cost and technical compatibility risks. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract, which remains a converged infrastructure and managed‑service solution based on the Dell PowerStore platform.
