Notice Information
Notice Title
Securecell AG Numera and Lucullus Platform
Notice Description
Over 2022/2023 CGT Catapult purchased the specialised Securecell AG Automation platform comprising Numera automatic sampling system and Lucullus software. The original SEA (dated 27th May 2022) for that purchase had total amount of PS590,149 and a duration of 5 years. This year as we approach a total spend with Securecell AG approaching this balance we need to justify a new direct award to enable continued access to hardware and software support for the platform through a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The Securecell AG Numera and Lucullus platform is highly specialised and Securecell AG are the only provider of this equipment and software. See Single Suppliers 6) in the guidance notes below. Additionally, no other providers of equipment and software support services are expected to be able to provide the required SLA.
