Why no open competition: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
Published justification: The decision to award the contract is being taken on technical grounds as Synergy Core is fully embedded into the Council’s systems and can only continue to be supported and maintained by Access UK Ltd. During this time the Council will complete a review to assess the feasibility of moving the product (Synergy Core) from on premise to hosted onto the cloud in line with the Government and corporate ‘Cloud First’ principle.
