The Supplier has previously provided the same services to the University and has a high degree of institutional and location knowledge, as well as good working relationships with internal stakeholders.\nThis decision is based on the grounds of technical and economic impracticality of switching suppliers within the required timeframe, and the absence of a suitable competitive alternative that delivers equivalent value for money and continuity.\nDue to the complexity and integration of the existing services across multiple locations, transitioning to an alternative supplier would require extensive procurement lead time, significant and potentially avoidable implementation costs and resources, and a high-risk migration programme - all of which would exceed the remaining duration of the current contract and introduce potential service disruption. \nThis limited contract via direct award is therefore considered a proportionate and necessary solution to:\n•\tmaintain business-critical service operations without disruption, especially with the commencement of the new academic term in September;\n•\tallow for continued value through negotiation with the incumbent supplier and control of costs;\n•\tprovide the University much needed time to further develop and conclude its long-term business and procurement strategy for the services, that can allow the University to achieve value for money; and \n•\tfollowing completion of the internal review, enable the University to meet its legal and transparency obligations under the Procurement Act 2023, by publishing details of its long term requirements (where appropriate), including a preliminary market engagement notice and tender notice.",
