Why this procedure was chosen
Supply market engagement confirmed that whilst alternative solutions exist, the cost of change remains the decisive factor. It highlighted that moving away from the incumbent would necessitate a full-scale migration and implementational project with substantial costs and associated risks, which could not be justified against the benefits offered by competitor systems, which offer broadly similar core functionality.
