Procedure rationale"This contract was Direct Awarded under Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Procurement Regulations. Competition was absent for technical reasons for the following reasons: - 1. Unique Access, Trust & Influence to HMG partners in our International Security Network. A trusted intermediary with unique connections beyond the UK government working on high-level research on disinformation. Given the sensitivities of the subject matter this was critical to open up trusted dialogue amongst HMG's strategic partners. - 2. Pattrn Analytics & Intelligence Ltd. and the Digital Forensics Lab are at the forefront of research around disinformation, computational propaganda and digital manipulation combined with advanced machine learning techniques in disinformation research. Access, Trust & Influence: Pattrn Analytics & Intelligence Ltd., provides advanced insights on global information operations, data flows and public understanding of critical issues in disinformation. Pattrn Analytics & Intelligence Ltd. has a critical working relationship with HMG strategic partners which has been built up over many years; the US-based Atlantic Council and its research arm, the Digital Forensic Research lab, as well as a number of international institutions and NGOs working against disinformation. This provides the opportunity to learn from the expertise of UK allies facing similar disinformation threats to national security and incorporate global successes and approaches into the work.
