Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
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:
This service is only available from the existing solution provider. As the incumbent solution provider, only Yarra Software has the ability to provide the data and technical expertise to provide the data in the format currently presented to LCID implementations in Trusts. There is a requirement for encompass to mimic this functionality within Epic and alternatives do not exist with another provider to be able to provide the functionality of the LCID solution or existing LCID data. Yarra Software is the only solution provider in use for this specific purpose regionally and therefore this DAC is being justified for technical reasons under Regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as only the supplier of these facilities and ability to re-create the data migrations required to migrate with the encompass Epic solution.
