Jamis, it looks like it is an increase of £14,399.20 to the existing contract to £727,614,409.
This looks like another change to the earlier £496 million award in Oct. that was increased in Dec. to £722 million.

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. **
INNOVA are providing Lateral flow test kits to support the UK Covid-19 testing strategy and to enable mass testing for C-19 through rapid testing
The Contract was originally awarded for tests in packs of 3, 7 and 25 with a contract value of £727,600,010.
The results of the accelerated procurement procedure did not provide DHSC with a supply of MHRA approved LFD tests for self-use.
In addition, there is a need to increase capacity of asymptomatic LFD based testing across the country.
Therefore, in order to meet this demand, the contract was varied on 10 February 2021 to increase the volume of tests provided in the 7 pack size.
DHSC is relying on Regulation 72(5) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for this amendment.
The variation increased the overall value of the contract by £14,399.20, which is below the relevant financial threshold for public supplies contract and within 10% of the initial contract value.
The variation did not alter the overall scope of the contract, and did not therefore alter the overall nature of the contract.
This looks like another change to the earlier £496 million award in Oct. that was increased in Dec. to £722 million.
