Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
The Authority developed a business case outlining the considerable benefits of deploying a software solution for the self-management of Notices of Intended Prosecution related to road traffic violations. In order to effectively deploy such a solution and deliver the identified efficiencies and savings it was necessary for the solution to directly link with the national Pentip system which is a Northgate Public Services solution and protected by a code of connectivity. Following soft market testing it was established that the only viable solution to deliver the business case benefits was that offered by Northgate. Therefore this is a proprietary software solution with no other viable choices.
