Why no open competition: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
Published justification: Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is relying on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in making this award without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) permits such an award where competition is absent for technical reasons.
In order to maintain the resilience of the East Coast & Hertfordshire Control Room Consortium until the dissolution we are required to extend the WAN network contract to align with the Vision Mobilising system contract.
The Council has therefore awarded a contract to Capita. This represents a best value approach to ensure the ongoing service delivery.

Publisher note: Where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator because competition is absent for technical reasons stated in Annex D.
