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 notice covers the migration of an existing system to a vendor managed cloud. It would be impossible, on technical grounds, for a different operator to effect this migration. Furthermore, the internal resource required to move to a different system ahead of a migration to a cloud solution means that fair competition would not be possible without a high level of risk to the ongoing operation of the university.
