    "procurementMethodRationale": "The Public Sector within Northern Ireland has many constituent parts that serve the needs of the NI Citizen. Each Policy and Delivery Organisation had a range of network services WANs, LANs and associated services which were under a number of different contractual arrangements. These included framework type contracts, Managed Service contracts and large fully outsourced business projects where the network is only one constituent part. \nThe Stormont House Agreement was published on 23 December 2014 (agreed by the NI Executive on 22 January 2015) and included a commitment to the extension of shared services across the NI public sector in driving forward a comprehensive programme of public sector reform and restructuring. \nUnder the stated objective of the NI Executive to drive towards shared services key stakeholders in  the public sector came together to consider the options for future provision of network services. IT Assist, Education Authority, Business Services Organisation and PSNI resourced a joint procurement team with assistance from CPD and SIB.\nThe NI Public Sector Network (NI PSSN) contract was awarded to BT in Oct 2018.\nIn addition to other Public Sector organisations to make use of the contract, the scope of the contract includes:\n•\tthe provision of WAN and unified communications environment.\n•\tother network services and unified communications to be purchased and managed and/or supplied under the NI PSSN. \nThis framework agreement that was availed of was procured via the Open route and a notice was published on 15 October 2018 in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under reference 2018/S 200-455203. The Framework agreement used had already been tendered in accordance with the EU Directives. This award notice is voluntary. Reg: 50 (4); in the case of framework agreements, contracting authorities shall not be bound to send a notice of the results of the procurement procedure for each contract based on that agreement.",
