Procurement Information

This VTN gives notice that VIVID is entering into a contract with TechLabs for the provision of IT services to deploy a Housing Management and CRM Solution for Phase 2 of VIVID's 2025 Transformation Programme (the "Contract"). The estimated value of the Contract is PS2,300,000. A procurement procedure is not required on the basis that the award of the Contract is permitted under the negotiated procedure without prior publication (regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015) on the basis the Contract can only be performed by TechLabs as competition is absent for technical reasons. TechLabs has specific know-how and intellectual property of its iProperty Cloud Solution that is relevant and essential to the effective delivery of Phase 2 (i.e. it has know-how and product knowledge of the services provided under Phase 1 of the Transformation Programme which is essential for the delivery of the services to be provided under Phase 2, 1 which mean is it the only economic operator capable of delivering the Contract using the iProperty Cloud Solution). VIVID has considered alternative options, and does not consider that there is a provider who is able to deliver Phase 2 in a way that is compatible with the solution provided under Phase 1. Of note, the services delivered under the Contract for Phase 2 are required to be compatible with the solutions already provided under Phase 1 of the Transformation Programme, and, in light of the above, there are interoperability requirements that can only be met by TechLabs. Additionally, as the Programme moves forward, it is essential for VIVID to ensure that we have appointed a service provider with specific knowledge of the Programme, the iProperty Cloud Solution and the operational requirements delivered under Phase 1. TechLabs' previous involvement under Phase 1 means that it has unique knowledge about the Programme and the operational requirements of Phase 1 which are essential for the successful delivery of Phase 2.
