Why this procedure was chosen
The OEM supplier has confirmed that it does not license or grant any Intellectual Property Rights relating to the relevant hardware or software to any third party suppliers. The OEM supplier has an exclusive right to provide these services and support. No third party is able to provide the required services, software maintenance of firmware management, nor are they able to provide access to proprietary software updates, firmware releases or technical support services. Use of any other provider puts at risk continued software support from the OEM supplier, and access to software maintenance updates and firmware upgrades, as the OEM supplier has confirmed that it cannot guarantee continued support in these circumstances. On that basis, there is no reasonable alternative to the OEM supplier providing the required services and software/firmware upgrades and maintenance.
