Why this procedure was chosen
The following clauses under Schedule 5 apply to this procurement: Clause 5: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract— (a)due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works require. The awarded supplier owns the IPR which we require to interface with the existing infrastructure. Clause 6: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract - (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The system used is a closed protocol system which is only supplied by the awarded supplier and is already installed in most sites across the estate which we are now required to expand therefore there is no reasonable alternative as replacing all cabinets that are existing would come at much higher cost. Clause 7: The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where—(a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. As mentioned above, the current system is already installed in most sites across the estate and is a closed protocol system therefore the new cabinets and lockers which are required to support increased capacity, must communicate with the existing systems in place. To have two different systems running opens operational risks and additional maintenance costs.

Proposed Amendments

Date
18 Nov 2025, 23:59
Rationale
It is necessary to purchase the additional goods from Traka as Traka specifies the bespoke metalwork needed to mount the Traka biometric readers onto the Gunnebo which communicate with the existing Traka key cabinets and radio lockers. If we were to purchase the Gunnebo’s elsewhere, they would not have the bespoke metal work and readers installed and therefore would not be compatible with the existing Traka software on site, making the use of the Gunnebo ineffective of its purpose.
