| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | Home Office |
| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | This direct award to a single supplier is justified on the grounds of avoiding incompatibility between existing systems and new goods/services, resulting in significant financial costs and time delays, and delivery risks for a critical Authority system. Currently, Critical Simulations Limited (CSL), provides expert technology support to ensure the efficient delivery of immersive Hydra critical incident training for Immigration Enforcement officers at Authority locations. There is a requirement to move some of this existing technology infrastructure to a new Authority location to retain this essential equipment and operational capability. All existing equipment at the original location has been configured and integrated by the existing supplier to ensure it is compatible and suitable as part of the overall Hydra training suite network. Transferring this existing equipment ensures continuity of service, and interoperability with the existing network. This solution also provides a significantly more cost-effective approach than reprocuring all new equipment. Following decommission, site transfer, and upgrades to the existing equipment in the new location to maintain compatibility with the wider network, the new location can continue to be maintained by Critical Simulations Limited as part of the wider network, as a like for like replacement of the original location. This would not be possible should an alternative supplier be appointed for this requirement, and the equipment would cease to form part of Critical Simulations Limited ongoing responsibility for the network. |
