7. Modification

7.1 Modification

Identifier of the previous contract award notice : 177790-2017
Identifier of the modified contract : CON-0001
Reason for modification : Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor.
Description : The need for additional services arises from the fact that there is an ongoing process within the RSA for the amalgamation of the DTTS and elements of the National Driving Licence Service (NDLS) into one contract. The procurement process for this amalgamated contract was due to start in Q1 2020, however, due to the impact of Covid-19 and impact of the multiple licence extensions imposed as measures to combat the pandemic, the work to identify the future service delivery model for the NDLS and DTTS was delayed until Mid-2024. As a result, the DTTS Contract needed to be extended beyond its current term to ensure continuity of services until the procurement process for the amalgamated DTTS/NDLS contract is complete. In addition, a change in contractor would cause both significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the RSA. In particular, a change in contractor would disrupt continuity of service and would compromise the RSA's ability to carry out the DTTS – which is a key state service required under legislation.

7.1.1 Change

Description of modifications : The RSA has modified the existing contract between the RSA and Prometric Ireland Limited under Article 72(1)(b) by extending it for a period of a period of 30 months to 17 December 2026. The value of this modification is €19,700,000 (ex. VAT) (as specified in 6.2 of this Notice). For clarity: this brings the total estimated value of the contract from its commencement to 17 December 2026 to €65,400,000 (ex. VAT).
