CPV classifications 72220000 - Systems and technical consultancy services ParticipationParticipation Particular suitability Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) Other informationOther information Conflicts assessment prepared/revised Yes ProcedureProcedure Procedure type Direct award Direct award justification Single supplier - technical reasons MRI Software Limited is the sole supplier capable of providing these services, as it owns and supports the wider MRI software ecosystem used by GSA. The company possesses the specialist technical expertise, system knowledge, integration capability and intellectual property rights necessary to deliver the required consultancy, professional services and training. The services are intrinsically linked to MRI's proprietary software solutions and require detailed knowledge of system configuration, functionality, ongoing product developments and existing integrations within GSA's technology estate. This expertise cannot be readily or cost-effectively replicated by a third-party provider without introducing significant risks to service delivery, system performance, programme timelines and business continuity. Consequently, MRI Software Limited is considered the only supplier capable of delivering these services to the required standard and within the required timescales, making a direct award the most appropriate procurement route. The Technology Products & Associated Services 2 (TEPAS2) Framework (RM6098) was explored as a potential procurement route for this requirement.
