VAT)\r\n 2 Save the amendments stated above, all other terms and conditions of the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.\r\n NWSSP Procurement Services are satisfied that compliance is maintained with Reg. 72 of the Public Contract Regulations (2015) against criteria 72.1.b.i and 72.1.b.ii as:\r\n - The proposed extension and costs do not exceed 50% of the original contract value.\r\n - Indicative procurement activity has raised question marks on the affordability of procuring a new solution currently.\r\n - The procuring of a new solution would duplicate costs already incurred as a result of building/implementing the current system.\r\n Compliance is also maintained with 72.8.b as:\r\n - The result of the original procurement would not have been altered by this contract change.",
