Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

The requirement constitutes an extension to existing services currently provided by the incumbent supplier. A change of supplier at this time would also mean a fundamental change to technology and existing integrations. Continuity of this service is essential to maintain operational effectiveness and minimise risk to the organisation while the business settles into public ownership.
