Justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a call for
competition in the Official Journal of the European Union
1.Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article
32 of Directive 2014/24/EU
Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive

3.Explanation
Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
is lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive:
An RFQ process was undertaken in the current financial year 2022 – 2023 with three potential suppliers and the Supplier selected was the only one to bid and meet the technical specification for the software function.
The data tool/data modelling is in use with Local Authority’s and GSENZH on an exclusive basis. No other software provides the same functionality.
As the cumulative value of the intended spend under the License, including early spend within the current financial year, together with the intended new spend of £231,644.00 for the financial years 2023-2025 totals £320,644.00 this is above the PCR threshold.
