Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

To preserve the continuity of knowledge and expertise built over the preceding four and a half years that will provide resilient and consistent support for the critical outputs produced by the organisation using the OpenROAD and Ingress applications.

OpenROAD is a database-centric, object-oriented, 4GL rapid application development (RAD) tool that lets you develop and deploy business applications on Windows, Linux and Unix. Ingres is an open-source relational database management system (DBMS) designed for large-scale commercial and government applications.

The expertise in the market for the size of managed service support required is very limited. The previous open tender only elicited one suitable response and a market engagement exercise failed to generate any suitable leads. Similarly, a search of purchasing platforms available to the organisation failed to match on the requirements.

A strategic resourcing decision not to train and develop permanent resources on legacy technologies means that there is no internal capability to support these applications.

The support provided for processing of survey data that enables the regular processing of surveys operated by ONS is a fundamental enabler for our core strategic aim of "statistics for the public good" and cannot be compromised.
