Costs increased as MOD required additional work from its advisers

2.15  MOD increased the value of the original contract with PwC by £2.22 million, from £4.6 million to £6.82 million, as it required additional work from them. That additional work covered changes to the scope of the project, such as the inclusion of facilities management at the Old War Office in the deal and increased security measures. MOD did not allow any increases in PwC's costs because the project took longer than expected to complete. Changes to the scope of the project were subject to price caps. In addition, MOD is employing PwC to provide continued technical team support during the redevelopment phase of the project at a budgeted cost of £3.74 million. MOD considers that it would have needed to have spent at least as much for this stage of the project under conventional procurement.
