The amendment is required to address the underestimation of contract values for the provision of collection agency services to support the collection of defaulted fines under the Provincial Offences Act up to March 31, 2025, the first period of the contract. The increase in total contract target value is required to process anticipated invoices for collection agency services through the end of the contract.

The total value of the amendment being requested is $1,000.000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,017,600 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), revising the overall contract value from $660,400 to $1,660,400 net of all taxes and charges ($1,689,623 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).
