Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
    • absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

It will be beneficial this contract to be aligned under the same managed service as our WAN, LAN and Unified Comms contract.

No other partner can provide the integration between our Unified Comms solution and contact centre service as we are in contract with FourNet, who leverage their agile cloud for both.

FourNet are CXone's only strategic integration partner, due to service interconnect with Agile Cloud.
