VII.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee (Art. 43(1)(c) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(c) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:

The below changes have been requested by the ITER Organization (IO). Actually, the technical specifications of this contract are of Built-to-Print type and were provided entirely by the IO and F4E is legally bound to use them for the Contract #191730: The glue that was identified by IO to be used is the ceramic glue Thermoguss 2000, but in March 2022 IO realized that the glue is not fit for purpose in the ITER Project. This was unexpected and could not have been foreseen. This amendent updates the Technical Specification for the Charcoal Coating to comply with the new requirements following the qualification of a new glue (the Sauereisen 32 glue) by the IO #154485: unexpected technical difficulties (incompatibility with magnetic field environment and unsuitability pressure sensors), not detectable at the Contract’s signature caused the modifications to the pressure requirements.

VII.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications and price adaptions and, in the case of Directive 2014/23/EU, average inflation in the Member State concerned)
Value excluding VAT: 19 953 673.73 EUR
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 20 642 762.27 EUR
