Published justification

The contract has been awarded through a call-off from the Scottish Government Digital Technology and Cyber Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which was established and is operated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and advertised on the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

In accordance with the regulations governing dynamic purchasing systems, contracts may be awarded following a further competition among suppliers admitted to the DPS for the relevant category. This contract was awarded following such a compliant process.

As the DPS itself was subject to prior publication and ongoing competition, no separate contract notice is required for individual call-off contracts. The use of the procedure without prior publication is therefore lawful.

Publisher note: Procured via mini competition on Scottish Government digital technology and cyber services: dynamic purchasing system.
