VII.2) Information about modifications

   VII.2.1) Description of the modifications:
    Contract modified to add Phases 3 & 4 of Flowers Lane. Castle Green is already on site for earlier phases. Changing contractor would cause significant cost duplication, delay, and technical disruption. Justified under Reg. 72(1)(b) PCR 2015 as a change is not possible for economic or technical reasons and would cause substantial inconvenience. The modification remains within the 50% value threshold.    
   
   VII.2.2) Reasons for modification:
         Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire (Art. 43(1)(b) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(b) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
   
   Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
    Castle Green are already on site for Phases 1 & 2 with infrastructure and compound in place. Using another contractor for the subsequent phases would cause substantial cost duplication, delay, and disruption. The modification ensures continuity, avoids technical inefficiencies, and remains within the 50% threshold under Reg. 72(1)(b) PCR 2015.       
   
   VII.2.3) Increase in price
