### Procurement Information

The goods and services required (supply, installation, and support of high-performance database appliance systems) can only be provided by a particular supplier due to exclusive rights, technical compatibility, or the absence of reasonable alternatives. The procurement is necessary to ensure continuity of critical IT infrastructure and support for business operations, where substituting the supplier would not be feasible without significant risk or disproportionate cost. The contract value and scope have been assessed to ensure compliance with the relevant thresholds and requirements under the Act.
