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

Published justification

Shibboleth is a collaborative open source software project that supports access to research and education resources. Development of the suite of software requires advanced C++ and Java programming skills, knowledge of cryptographic techniques including XML Signature and Encryption, and extensive experience with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Developers are required to have in-depth knowledge of the structure and processes of the Shibboleth modules, have familiarisation with other single sign-on technologies such as OAuth and OpenID Connect, and actively contribute to the SAML standardisation process under the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Jisc Services Limited has incorporated a standstill period at the point that information on the award of the contract was communicated to suppliers. This notification provides information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for suppliers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 article 91 provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court(England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
