Procedure

Procedure type

Direct award

Direct award justification

Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement

Salesforce is an embedded system in the university and the cost to change this would be prohibitive.

Salesforce licences are only available via Salesforce, or a software re-seller who add a margin. There is an absence of competition.

By direct awarding the contract to Salesforce the Contracting Authority will save the additional cost of the software re-seller fees.
