Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
This is a low value, below-threshold procurement. Unity cluster BACS solution delayed so continuity of service required. Costs of switching supplier and modifying existing SFTP link with ERP Supplier at this moment in time would exceed this contract value (not VfM). Also would be a highly complex exercise, risking DfT not being able to send/receive critical payments.
