- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
- Published justification
Each provider is either the rightsholder to the IP of the content and/or is the sole provider of each unique resource. Therefore Jisc is clear that the arrangement falls within the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights, contained within Regulation 32 (2) (b) (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations2015, permitting Jisc to enter into the direct award
- Review procedure
Jisc Services Limited will incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to suppliers. This notification provides information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for suppliers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 article 91 provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Publisher note: Jisc will use any information obtained as a result of this PIN to determine the procurement strategy used to deliver the service described.
