As mentioned above, the existing contract regards consulting services regarding assistance to improvement of framework conditions in the agricultural sector in Burkina Faso. The addendum includes the following changes to the existing contract: (A) A change in the consultant's team comprising a reduction of the team by 6 persons and an introduction of 2 new profiles (a sociologist and a value chain specialist) for the remaining period of the contract. (B) An extension of the current contract period of 60 months by 30 months to a total of 90 months. This includes an increase in inputs for the team leader and 6 other key staff, including the 2 new profiles mentioned above in (A). The total net value of the change (10 648 239 DKK) constitutes around 38 % of the value of the original contract (27 716 625 DKK ). The changes covered by the addendum are necessary for the performance of the contract. Furthermore, the use of another supplier would not be possible without causing significant financial and technical inconvenience. This would also result in significant problems and increase in the costs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Thus, the change is covered by section 181 of the Danish Procurement Act. Furthermore, since the need for the change could not have be foreseen by a diligent contracting authority (the cause of the need of the change was political turmoil in Burkina Faso) and the overall nature of the contract is not altered by the addendum, the change is also covered by section 183 of the Danish Procurement Act. 29230180.00 39878419.00
