Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation
Following a search of the G-Cloud 14 framework, only one supplier was identified as capable of meeting the Council's requirements. Additionally, the Council has an existing investment in ten tablets for canvassing use, that are fully compatible with the supplier's software. Procuring an alternative system would require replacement of this hardware and incur additional costs. The supplier was therefore considered the only provider capable of meeting the Council's requirements whilst ensuring compatibility with existing equipment and maintaining value for money.
