Lot Information
Lot 1
FSNI require a Contractor for the Supply, Delivery, Installation and Maintenance of an "Expert" Assistance Software package for Forensic DNA Analysis. The services required include the provisioning and licensing for an expert software COTS (Commercial off the Shelf) package, on-site installation, training, maintenance and support for an initial contract period of 5 years.
Options: This contract commenced on 31 March 2015 for 5 years. Option for 1 year rolling extension for support, maintenance, upgrades / enhancements.
Procurement Information
To ensure continuity of service to FSNI for their critical business functions whilst the requirement is retendered, it is permissible to rely on regulation 72(1)(b) - additional works, services or supplies "have become necessary" and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs. The total value of this modification is PS24,000.
