Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights; Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

This contract is for a supplier to change, amend and modify the existing web services hosted on the servers of and maintained by a single supplier. This creates issues with the technical possibility of integrating a 3rd party into the process and with the exclusive rights issues that access to that suppliers servers, design work and bespoke elements which would be created. No reasonable alternative to direct award exists either due to massive duplication or significant impacts on either suppliers abilities to meet their contract requirements.
