Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 83 active published awards; 79 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThe incumbent supplier holds sole access rights to the IP, as they built, designed, maintain, operate and support the Rural Payments Service platform. However, we are looking to reduce this dependency by moving the service to the cloud in the next financial year, and thereby reducing the sole management splitting it to Defra and a supplier (yet to be agreed as it is subject to a competitive tender process to take effect from July 2024.) <br/><br/>Therefore, it is believed that situations 3, and 4, of the five permissible situations set out in the STA Guidance were met. KITS is the only supplier with the expertise and/or equipment to complete the task (Sole Supplier) due to their knowledge of the platform they built and they hold sole access rights to intellectual or property rights (Property Rights) as they designed, built, maintain, operate and support the Rural Payments Service platform. This is in accordance with Reg 32(2)(iii) the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property right.
