Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
Single supplier - technical reasons The authority intends to directly award a contract for digital software licences under the Procurement Act 2023 on the grounds of technical exclusivity and protection of exclusive rights. The software is proprietary and only available from the incumbent supplier. It is integrated into critical operational systems and supports established workflows, datasets and evidential requirements. Switching to an alternative would incur disproportionate cost, technical risk, and operational disruption, including system revalidation and potential impact on service continuity. The authority has determined that no reasonable alternatives exist and that a direct award represents best value for money. A Transparency Notice is therefore being published in accordance with statutory requirements. This is a time-limited 12-month award necessary to ensure continuity of service while a compliant procurement route to market is finalised, following delays outside the authority's control.
