Published justification

Negotiated procedure without prior publication

Reason for selected award procedure:

Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons

The rationale for continuing with the current system:

Oracle Fusion Cloud is Ofqual’s current core finance and HR system, in which it has invested a large amount of finance and resource into implementing and operating the software and system.

Ofqual requires a single platform that supports shared processes with one data model across finance, HR and purchasing applications.

Oracle Fusion Cloud has only been in place for three years, therefore the cost of moving to a new system in its entirety is prohibitive to Ofqual.
