Why no open competition

Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights; Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement

Published justification

The contract has been awarded without competition in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 due to technical reasons and the absence of a reasonable alternative. Microsoft provides a fully integrated and interoperable software platform embedded across critical systems, and substitution would lead to disproportionate technical and operational risk. The award has been fully benchmarked and delivers value for money through compliant charitable pricing.
