Procedure rationaleAward of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
• U4ERP is the currently used system and is moving into the cloud, due to ending of on-premises support.
Explanation:
This award is lawful in accordance with the regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because the competition is absent for technical reasons. The university has used the Unit4 application for over 10 years, and the system is an essential part of the university's infrastructure, such that any down time or system failure would have a detrimental effect on the running of the university.
At the present time it would be impossible for the university to procure an alternative economic operator to provide the full range of services within a suitable timeframe and without detrimentally impacting the operations of the university. The application is currently hosted on premises; the support for on premises solutions is ending shortly which requires a SaaS contract. |
