Procedure rationaleBased on the information detailed below, the conclusion is that Checkit Europe Ltd is the only supplier able to provide these Services (and replacement equipment) to APHA. To the best of our knowledge and investigations it is concluded that, given the Supplier’s exclusive rights (IPR) to the equipment, and therefore the Services, only the incumbent Supplier can maintain the existing Remote Temperature and Environmental Monitoring (RTEM) system within APHA. <br/><br/>- Checkit has confirmed that they own IP in the equipment and software provided to / accessed by APHA under the current contract. Further investigation by APHA has confirmed that there are no re-sellers of CAM+ Equipment providing related temperature monitoring services (so a restricted competition amongst current distributors would not be a valid route to market). <br/><br/>- To enable connection between the equipment and Supplier software, it would appear that a new supplier would have to install their own equipment to APHA laboratories, which links to their own software package. This would involve replacing approximately 824 items of Equipment across the APHA estate. To unnecessarily remove and replace functioning Equipment would not only be a considerable expense and have a negative sustainability impact but would also, critically, have a significant and unacceptably disruptive effect on business-as-usual APHA scientific activities across the whole laboratory estate. (This would include containment facilities that can only be accessed by maintenance personnel during planned shutdowns, which only happen once per year.)
