Published justification: This VEAT notice relates to a contract is for the provision of Support and Maintenance for an Enterprise Resource Managed System (ERMS). The contract is an essential to the effective performance and delivery of RBFA’s key operations, and supports management and information relating to vital fire resources and capabilities . Furthermore, the system has full integration with the current Thames Valley Fire Control Service system which ensures efficient delivery of regional fire services. The contract was awarded to Infographics UK Ltd following a tendering exercise in 2016 in compliance with the provisions of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This is a business critical system and the ERMS licences are owned by RBFA, but the associated services are only available from the stated supplier. To ensure continuous operation of this critical requirement, RBFA are seeking to extend the current support/maintenance contract for a further period of 5 years, from April 2022. This is in accordance with Regulation 32 (2), (b), (ii) Public Contract Regulations 2015 as competition is absent for technical reasons.
