Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: The route to market is via direct award using the GCA G-Cloud 14 framework. This was identified by procurement as the best option for placing a contract with Saadian Technologies for the renewal of the incumbent PINS licenses, with a vendor-only license renewal and support agreement, which no other 3rd party can provide. As such, the G-Cloud direct award process proved the most appropriate, compliant route and there were no tender submissions to evaluate.
