Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: This is necessary due to the unique nature of Atlassian’s integrated product suite of agile development and collaboration software. These licences are a key contributor to the NHSBSA's Digital Strategy 2020 - 2023, which supports a number of NHSBSA's core services - both internal and public-facing. There is a reseller market available for Atlassian licences, which could allow for a degree of competition to be created. However, this option has been explored previously and for the NHSBSA this route would only add additional cost, an extra tier to manage in the supply chain and add little to no value. Hence, the decision was taken that a direct relationship with Atlassian represents better value for money than a reseller competition.
