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:

The university has piloted a student attendance monitoring system with SEAtS. The evidence of this pilot supports two conclusions. Firstly, the SEAtS solution has proven to be highly successful and the risk to the business of a change to an alternative provider at this point would be high, both in terms of financial cost, resource cost and impact on student experience. Secondly, the direct internal cost of a transition to another provider would make it impossible to offer a truly competitive tender to market.
