- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights; Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
LCIV intends to award the bridging contract directly under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis that a Schedule 5 single supplier justification applies
Rationale and Evidence (Single Supplier)
The evidence that only Mirador Solutions Limited can deliver within the bridging window includes:
Continuity of technical knowledge of the FARO codebase, architecture, environments and deployment pipeline.
Disproportionate time, cost and delivery risk associated with onboarding a new supplier mid-delivery and transferring partially complete artefacts.
The requirement is strictly time-critical to avoid delivery slippage and service disruption. The delivery timeline has been set by HM Government.
- Risks
Strictly timeboxed: 20/04/2026-17/07/2026 (no automatic extensions).
Value cap: £165,000 ex VAT; variations subject to formal change control and approval.
Mandatory handover deliverables enabling transition to the competitively appointed support supplier.
Defined exit and transition obligations by 17th of July 2026.
