Procedure

Procedure type

Direct award

Direct award justification

  • Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights
  • Single supplier - technical reasons
  • Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement
  • Extreme and unavoidable urgency

Extending the contract for the maintenance and support of the bespoke eAML2 system with the current provider, TLR Ltd, is strictly necessary to avoid disproportionate technical difficulties. A change of supplier for this custom-built and interdependent system would result in unacceptable disruption to a regulatory service, as a new provider's software and services would be incompatible with the existing infrastructure and more time is required to scope the service requirements and enable a procurement process being conducted.
