Other justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a
contract notice in the OJEU:
k) The contract has as its object services listed in Annex B of Directive 2004/18/EC or in Annex XVII B of Directive 2004/17/EC
l) The contract falls outside the scope of application of the relevant directive.
In addition to the box(es) ticked above please explain in a clear and
comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication of
a contract notice in the OJEU is lawful, stating in any case the relevant facts,
and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the articles in
the relevant Directive (500 words maximum):
King's College London currently houses all of its enterprise applications on two Enterprise Application Infrastructures (converged platforms) supplied by Hewlett Packard. The platforms are fit-for-purpose and serviceable, but are lacking an integrated backup storage for the converged system storage (3PAR StoreServ). King's College London is about to migrate much of its central ICT infrastructure to a new shared datacentre, and the opportunity is being taken to extend Data Protection facilities wherever possible to provide additional resilience in support of the university's business. Maximum resilience and most cost-effective cover is provided by extending the Data Protection capabilities of the HP converged platforms using the integrated HP StoreOnce backup storage which integrates with the existing HP 3PAR StorServ storage. Both of these technologies are designed to integrate and work together and are supported by Hewlett Packard, who have exclusive rights in the existing and proposed platform.
