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 procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
This is a technical upgrade of an existing system i.e. moving the University’s finance system to a more recent version of the finance software developed and supported by Unit4. They are in a unique position to provide this service.
The version of the system currently in use at the University is now out of formal support and has to be upgraded as soon as possible to reduce the risk of system failure.
This is the first upgrade of the software since 2010 and consultancy is required from Unit4 in order to resolve any issues arising from this upgrade caused either by (i) changes to the database and/or application software developed by Unit4 and/or (ii) local customisations implemented by the University of the West of Scotland (UWS). Again, Unit4 are in a unique position to support UWS in this upgrade.
