Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights
The DAC is being awarded to provide technical support and maintenance to a
proprietary cashless system at 32 schools sites during the 12 months from the
commencement date detailed on this request. As this is a proprietary system, it can only
be technically supported and maintained by CRB Cunninghams. It is anticipated that any
future systems include, warranty, support and maintenance and will therefore reduce the
need for this type of DAC in the future.
