Unpublished data stays unknown.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

Procedure rationaleIn order to maintain installed instances of software to current release levels and retain access to patches including security patches, thereby helping to guard against service degradation and interruption, it is imperative that this software is subject to unbroken coverage by an appropriate level of vendor support. This can only be achieved by one supplier in the market for compatibility and for software related issues. This is compliant to regulation 32 B, ii competition is absent for technical reasons,
