| Procurement Method: | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition |
| Method Rationale: |
| The University previously undertook a tender exercise for the Provision of an Integrated Student Admissions System, in July 2023. However, this tender exercise was cancelled (one submission exceeded the budget, whilst another submission, within budget, was deemed to be unsuitable). Thereafter, the University explored the use of a Framework Agreement to purchase a module which could be added to the University’s Student Records System. After a demonstration and discussion, the quoted cost exceeded the budget of the University. Consequently, the University decided an alternative route could be the development of the University’s existing Student Records System. As a result of cost, the University are unable to afford an Integrated Student Admissions System, or a new module to be implemented by the University’s incumbent supplier of the Student Records System. Therefore, it was deemed appropriate to discuss possible deliverables to the existing Student Records System. The University performed a search for ‘Tribal SITS Integration Consultancy’ on the G-Cloud 13 Framework Agreement, which resulted in one supplier being listed. This supplier was ‘Stu3 Limited’. As a result, the University believe there is only one supplier who possesses the capability to deliver consultancy work, with regard to the development of SITS: Vision. Moreover, the University has a requirement for a solution to be implemented for September 2024. In order to meet the September 2024 deadline, service delivery needs to commence at the start of January 2024. As a result of specialism and time constraints, a Direct Award is deemed to be a necessary approach. Therefore, this VEAT Notice has been published to present the intention of UHI to enter directly into a contract with Stu3 Limited, in accordance with Regulation 33 (1) (b) (ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons. |
