ANNEX D

   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

      No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to: Not Provided

            
      
      The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons

      Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

      Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

      New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No
            Service contract to be awarded to the winner or one of winners under the rules of a design contest: No
      

      Purchase of supplies or services on particularly advantageous terms: No


   3. Explanation
          The duration of the contract will be 12 months with the potential to extend up to 6 months. At this point in time it is recognised that it would be impractical and add significant risk to the overall project timetable for a new provider to take on the service support of a newly developing system without entering into a period of due diligence. This would, impact on service roll-out in terms of delivery and timescales for implementation if a new supplier were brought on-board which cannot be catered for from initial Go Live. Therefore, the incumbent, for technical reasons would be the only provider available to support the system in its infancy.
