VII.1.4) Description of the procurement:
The first two waves of the survey, conducted in 2016/7 and 2019/20, were undertaken using a combination of online and in-home interviewing. The aim of the in-home survey was to ensure those offline or in some way digitally excluded were represented in the survey.
The Covid pandemic has necessitated a change in survey methodology, with large-scale in-home interviewing still unlikely. The in-home survey will be replaced with a telephone survey.

VII.2) Information about modifications
VII.2.1) Description of the modifications:
The first two waves of the survey, conducted in 2016/7 and 2019/20, were undertaken using a combination of online and in-home interviewing. The aim of the in-home survey was to ensure those offline or in some way digitally excluded were represented in the survey.
The Covid pandemic has necessitated a change in survey methodology, with large-scale in-home interviewing still unlikely. The in-home survey will be replaced with a telephone survey.
VII.2.2) Reasons for modification:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire (Art. 43(1)(b) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(b) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
The Covid pandemic has necessitated a change in survey methodology, with large-scale in-home interviewing still unlikely. For this reason Wave 3 of the Financial Lives survey will follow a different methodology to preceding waves and the in-home survey will be replaced with a telephone survey. There are a number of benefits associated with one supplier conducting both pieces of fieldwork in terms of sampling, weighting, data merging, costs and timescales.
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)
