Why no open competition
Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

NESO intends to award a contract to Nortech Management Limited under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, relying on Schedule 5 paragraph 7.

The contract continues and extends services associated with NESO's existing iHost platform. A change of supplier would introduce different or incompatible provision requiring interface redevelopment, migration and testing, resulting in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.

This 36-month agreement is intended to ensure continuity of service while longer-term requirements are reviewed and assessed.
