Procedure rationaleGuinness' has renewed its contract for these services directly with Oracle, without further competition, on the basis of a specified exemption under the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015. Under Regulation 32 of the PCR, authorities are able to make use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- (i) the aim of the procurement is the creation or acquisition of a unique work of art or artistic performance, (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons, or (iii) the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Guinness as the contracting authority is of the view that competition is absent for technical reasons (ii). The software configuration in place is deeply embedded into Guinness' IT architecture and is significantly bespoke to our business requirements, which makes changing systems highly complex and prohibitive. Furthermore Guinness considers that exemption (iii) also applies, on the basis that Oracle alone has exclusive ownership of the intellectual property which forms our bespoke solution. As per exemption (ii), the level of complexity of the current software implementation and licencing configuration embedded within Guinness' IT architecture is such that it can only feasibly be provided and maintained by Oracle. The Guinness Partnership therefore believes that the conditions for Regulation 32 of the PCR are therefore met and has entered directly into contract via negotiation with Oracle. Guinness has formalised the extension of contract with Oracle following the publication of a VEAT notice and the completion of a 10-day standstill period.
