Under Regulations Reg 33(1)(b)(ii), and Reg 33(4)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: Reg 33(1)(b)(ii): Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists) Reg 33(4)(b): compatibility issues or disproportionate technical difficulties.
Procurement Information
Reg 33(1)(b)(ii): Hewlett Packard Enterprise are the only possible source for maintenance due to exclusive rights for the HPE 8600 system installed in the Advanced Computing Facility and operated by the University of Edinburgh under grant funding for the Science and Technology Facilities Council, and which was competitively procured under the SSSNA framework MT0768 in 2018 and upgraded in Jan 2019.Reg 33(4)(b): Integrating a hierarchical storage manager (HSM) with the existing HPE provided filesystem could only be supported by HPE, without risk of compatibility issues and disproportionate technical difficulties since HPE would not support tightly coupled use of their filesystem with another vendor's products.
