Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below

  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations

Explanation:

This procurement has been conducted is in line with regulation 32 2(b)(ii) of Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015.

2(b)(ii)competition is absent for technical reasons:

We have complex projects in flight with Flyform (ITAM project Phase 1 and CMDB Phase 2 and 3) which are technically complex. Flyform have been working on these for over a year and the phase 2 and 3 will continue into Year 2 of the STA contract. Changing supplier at this time would pose serious risk and delays to project deliverables which are directorate objectives.

Service Now has now been selected as a strategic government technology which has resulted in an uptake in demand to what was originally forecasted, business areas are considering Service Now for digitalisation of non-IT processes. As a result, the previous contract value reached its limit and a new contract is needed.
