Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

NGN have invested heavily in SAP Hana and licences to optimise its ability to capture regulatory and non regulatory data via on-premise/cloud software and applications. If NGN did not extend these licenses then the risk would be to lose access to key critical business applications like SuccessFactors (NGN&Me) and SCP (the platform for the E&R work app, the Dispatch app etc). If NGN were to look at re-implementation of new technology, infrastructure and middleware, plus integration with our backend ERP, there could be loss of access to the E&R work app and the Dispatch app which could pose a serious risk to life and property, and to NGNs ability to fulfil Regulatory Licence Conditions.
