Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

Transitioning to an alternative platform at this stage would require substantial redevelopment of existing websites and services, alongside a complex and resource-intensive content migration process. This would not only divert critical resources but also significantly delay delivery timelines, likely beyond the implementation of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).
