The designation created a significant new constraints and impacted all aspects of the drafted outline planning application and proposed development.

This contract modification was required to accommodate additional meetings required by the incumbent service provider to support the outline planning application.

Regulation 72(1)(a) of PCR15 A allows for modifications (irrespective of value) to be made where they have been provided for in the initial procurement documents in clear precise and unequivocal review clauses.

The procurement documents of the incumbent service provider stated: "Please note that at this stage it is difficult to accurately outline the future meetings required and EDC will require flexibility from all Consultants to attend additional meetings to those outlined above, if required. Please use the scope of meetings outlined above for the purpose of providing a fee".
