Lot Information
Lot 1
To build a DNS availability monitoring service for the '.gov.uk' Domain Name
Options: The Contract ends on 10 December 2023. The Contract can be extended for a further 12 months or such term as agreed
Procurement Information
As well as "Protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights", justification on the grounds of "Absence of competition for technical reasons" applies. There is a natural monopoly here. The '.gov.uk' top-level delegation record can only be provided by Nominet because Nominet has the exclusive arrangement with IANA (the organisation that coordinates the Internet's globally unique identifiers) to host the higher-level '.uk' record. The availability monitoring solution must be provided under Nominet's direct control because Nominet has to integrate it into their internal systems.
