Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThe contracting authority holds a perpetual licence to use the relevant software and the supplier is the exclusive sub-contractor providing support for that software within the geographical area of Scotland. Through that sub-contract the supplier has access to the necessary support from the owner of the intellectual property rights in the Software and is therefore the only economic operator who can supply the required support services.
