Direct award justification
Single supplier - technical reasons
No reasonable alternative exists for this highly specialised procurement as no other products or services are available that will digitally support the new aligned cancer pathway. This is a bespoke system built to support genomics medicines using a combination of technical solutions, this combination is unique and not available commercially. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of procurement. BHSCT will test the market during the timeframe of this contract for technical digital developments in this area.
