Published justification: This is a direct award of a software maintenance contract under regulation 32(b)(ii) and (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The ONE system is a proprietary software platform owned by Capita Business Services Limited and separately licensed by Capita to the Contracting Authority. The system was created to be a database capturing statutory Education data. To meet statutory requirements, the Capita ONE system needs to be upgraded triennially, which cannot be achieved without software updates produced only by Capita.
