The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1Procurement of Salesforce CRM licencesAwarded
Procurement of Salesforce CRM licences. This is an early contract renewal to help reduce the cost of increasing the license costs and ensure there are enough licenses for future growth. Although Salesforce use re-sellers for their licencing, a quoting exercise has determined that the best value for money route is via Salesforce directly. The estimated value of the contract will be up to £2.5million over 3 years based on current expected licence volumes although these could change.

- 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; Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
This is a re-negotiation of an existing contract to incorporate a more appropriate licencing structure that satisfies current requirements and future proofs potential additional requirements during the term of the contract. By doing this the Contracting Authority will realise significant cost savings that would otherwise not be available via the existing contract.
As the end date of the original contract remains unchanged, the Contracting Authority considers the new contract to be in line with clause 32(5)(b) in terms of the new contract being intended as a partial replacement of the original supplies.
The Contracting Authority also believes that competition is absent for technical reasons as changing the CRM platform is not an option at this point in time and information gained from re-sellers confirms that they could not provide discounts offered by Salesforce directly.
