Published justification

The grounds for this award are that the re-procurement and new system implementation would not align with the contracting authority's long-term system strategy plans.

Other systems and Framework offer have been consider with demonstrations but the commercial impact for change in software at this point would be restrictive due to the level of disruption, resources and cost impact to the organisation.
