Coverage: 8 active published awards; 7 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleNegotiated without a prior call for competition
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
Explanation:
This contract is awarded in accordance with the following derogations under the regulations:
I. Where competition is absent for technical reasons (regulation 32(2)(b)(ii);
II. For reasons connected with the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights (reg32(2)(b) iii) but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
The local DNA management system is a bespoke and integral part of the FSNI DNA profiling service required by PSNI under the Criminal Justice and Police & Criminal Evidence Act (PACE). IPR relating to the approaches, coding methodologies, techniques and tools for matching and processing suspects belong to the Economic Operator. This direct award contract will allow for ongoing maintenance, service development and ensure ongoing availability and functionality. |
