### Procurement Information

The University requires a Leisure Management System (LMS) to support its facilities operations. Gladstone MRM Limited is the sole provider of the specific LMS currently in use. This software has been implemented and fully operational at the University since circa 2018, following a compliant tender process. Over this period, it has become embedded in the University's systems and processes. Due to the proprietary nature of the software, its deep integration, and the operational reliance developed over several years, there is no suitable alternative on the market that would provide equivalent functionality without significant disruption. Transitioning to a different system would incur substantial cost, operational risk, and service disruption. Therefore, this procurement qualifies as an exception under the Directive, allowing a direct award to Gladstone to ensure continuity of service, preserve system integrity, and avoid unnecessary costs. As such, this contract shall be awarded under Regulation 33 (1) (b) (ii) as the University intends to award this public contract following the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice as the competition is absent for technical reasons.
