Additionally, the Council has an existing investment in ten tablets for canvassing use, that are fully compatible with the supplier's software. Procuring an alternative system would require replacement of this hardware and incur additional costs. The supplier was therefore considered the only provider capable of meeting the Council's requirements whilst ensuring compatibility with existing equipment and maintaining value for money.",
