Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation
The services can be provided only by a particular tenderer for reasons that are: technical, connected with the protection of exclusive rights. It is considered that this contract must be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulation 32(2)b of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as to place with another supplier would mean disproportionate and significant additional costs to the Forces. It would also mean unacceptable technical issues and difficulties and cause delay and disruption to key areas of public safety, including emergency incidents potentially endangering the public.
Sussex Police use Sopra Steria STORM System which was procured via an OJEU compliant process in 2010. In addition, Regulation 32(5)(b) applies for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or an extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
