This is a standard maintenance contract that can only be provided by the supplier, to ensure ongoing support of defects, updates, version upgrades, patching, and security vulnerability patching. Without a maintenance contract, the service would be unsupportable and as a key component of the Seer platform, this would represent a significant risk to the service.

This award is necessary in order to maintain supported and up-to-date versions of the supplied software; including version updates, critical patching including security patching against newly identified vulnerabilities.

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
