Procurement Information

The reasons for progressing as a STA are due to the nature of the spend. This requirement is for a Licensing, Support and maintenance agreement for LCCC's existing IT systems used within Building Control and Environmental Health. As noted, this qualifies as a compatible STA due to the below reasons: 1) Where there is a 'compatibility issue' - for example, with office equipment, IT, or where a proposed business model or other recommendations made by a consultancy is to be implemented; (PCR 2015 Regulation 32 (5)(b)(i)(ii)(iii)) 2) Where there is genuinely only one provider who is capable of meeting the requirement or will be interested in doing so; (PCR 2015 Regulation 32 (2) General Grounds,(b) (i),(ii)(III)) Market research has indicated that the costs to change this system would be approx. PS40,000 in addition to data migration, licensing, maintenance and support of the Software. Furthermore, due to IDOX creating a bespoke system for LCCC, no other supplier would be able to provide licensing, support and maintenance for the current system in place and there is genuinely only one supplier capable of meeting the requirement.
