VII.2) Information about modifications
VII.2.1) Description of the modifications
The modification includes an increase in user licenses, an adjustment to the SLA payment schedule to cover Year 2, and additional implementation support. These updates address the challenges of higher-than-anticipated user numbers, a payment oversight, and newly identified requirements for skills development and hierarchy setup. Together, these changes ensure the project stays aligned with evolving needs.
VII.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
Retaining Valamis provides clear benefits: it eliminates the expense and hassle of system redeployment, maintains seamless compatibility with current integrations, and takes advantage of their proven expertise with DBT's Learning Hub. Switching contractors, on the other hand, could lead to service disruptions, duplicate costs, and implementation delays. With Valamis, you gain continuity, cost savings, and technical alignment, ensuring timely delivery of expanded licenses, an extended SLA, and enhanced support.
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)
