| Method Rationale: | Crucially, over the 20 years, BRM have built up extensive business knowledge across all programmes of social care. They have an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the intricate rules and associated inter-dependencies that apply to the planning and delivery of the social work service. They are acutely aware of the reliance trust staff place on the system and have grown the capability to accurately and quickly design and deliver system enhancements as well as quickly and accurately resolve incidents as and when they arise. (This has been particularly valuable during the COVID-19 period when enhancements were requested for delivery in a very short timeframe) Given the technology and the bespoke nature of the application, it would not be possible to find a replacement supplier capable of providing the required services. Further, to build the required level of expertise and knowledge into a replacement supplier would be an extremely long process and would require substantial input from BRM, as the main source, over a long period of time. We wish to rely on schedule 5 section 5 (a) due to BRM having the intellectual property rights. They are the only supplier able to provide the services. |
