Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights
Published justification
The NHAIS system has been decommissioned across the UK. Support for the instance of NHAIS in Northern Ireland passed from DXC to Dedalus in 2020 and Dedalus are the only supplier with the relevant skills and knowledge required to support the system. No other suppliers have the required skills and knowledge to support the NHAIS system​ and make the required changes to ensure that this feed integrates with the NHAIS more…system. The supplier holds IPR over the product. As per Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act, where: "due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required." there is no other route to market to provide these services.
