Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleJacobs are the sole owners and licensor of FM and there are no alternatives available to us without rewriting all forecasting models. It is the view of the Environment Agency that this contract is justifiable under Regulations 32(2)(b)(ii) and 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 to award the contract for the supply and support of the FM software because, as Jacobs own the intellectual property for the software, and develop and support the specialist FM software, therefore no reasonable alternative exists, nor can another organisation supply and support the product. At this time, no alternative solution is available because any decision to deviate from FM would require a redevelopment of all Environment Agency models, which would take many years to develop and at great cost, therefore competition is absent for technical reasons.
