Procurement Information
Due to the ongoing complexity of the implementation of the McCloud Remedy Legislation, it is the considered view of the Contracting Authority that there is no alternative option other than to continue to contract with the incumbent supplier at this time. It should be noted that the incumbent software supplier is not party to any accessible national framework. As a result, the Contracting Authority can only proceed on the basis of a Single Tender Action (STA) on the grounds of skill/experience, cost of change and legislative obligation.
