Why this procedure was chosen
The Authority requires Lotek UK Ltd to supply the Goods due to essential compatibility requirements with existing Goods and data. The previous contract expired in March 2023, and the Goods procured contributed to the generation of a substantial dataset for the current programme. To maintain data integrity and continuity, new collars must match the sensitivity and parameters of the existing ones and remain compatible with the software used to interpret the data. Switching suppliers would risk producing inconsistent datasets, require reprogramming, and potentially necessitate different software solutions.
