Published justification

Appian licenses are exclusively distributed by Appian due to their proprietary nature. No other supplier can offer the same product, making competition non-viable.

Review and risk notes
Risks

The scope of licence requirements over the 2-year contract term is currently unknown. There is a risk that the initial purchase may not cover the full number of licences required to support operational needs. This risk will be actively monitored throughout the contract term. Should additional licences be needed, a contract modification may be initiated to accommodate the increased scope
