Notice Information
Notice Title
Carepartner Mental Health Clinical System
Notice Description
This procurement qualifies for a direct award under the provisions of Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 the Procurement Act 2023, as the software is proprietary and can only be obtained directly from Imosphere. No authorised resellers or equivalent alternatives exist in the market, making competitive tendering not feasible. Awarding the contract directly ensures: * Continuity of service across essential mental health systems. * Compatibility with existing Carepartner infrastructure and associated interfaces. * Compliance with software licensing and data security requirements. * Mitigation of operational risk, avoiding disruption that could result from using non-compatible or unsupported alternatives.
