Buyer: The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside
Country: UK
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Contract award without prior publication
CPV classification: 72000000

The Force currently use Oracle eBusiness Suite for core processes of the Finance and HR Functions, including Payroll. The current versions of Oracle being utilised are now due for upgrade and Oracle have confirmed will go out of support.
An upgrade to v12 brings no additional functional benefits and the only purpose of the upgrade would be to maintain support.
A decision has been taken internally that a move to Oracle Fusion (Cloud) is the preferred option as this would deliver the greatest benefits to the Force and offers the greatest scope for future development and a long term solution.
The cost of moving to a new system in its entirety is cost prohibitive to the force and this supports the decision to upgrade to fusion cloud.

Technical requirements: — damp and mould related works to properties including shielding of affected surfaces with proprietorial nanotech products,
— integrated software for resident targeting, visit arrangement, lettering, resident visit, in-home programme delivery, data collection and reporting,
— logistics planning algorithms and pre-assessment tools to optimise delivery and live dashboards enable the programme’s steering,
London and Quadrant Housing Trust (L&Q) intends to award the Contract described below to ZapCarbon Ltd (ZC) pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. L&Q is of the view that the contract can only be award to ZapCarbon Ltd for technical reasons.

It is critical to the programme that all of the above matters can be delivered by a single provider to ensure that the programme is effective.

The above summary of L&Q’s analysis demonstrates that L&Q has considered reasonable alternatives for delivering its requirements pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b) and has concluded that none exist. It has considered its requirements objectively.
Following a comprehensive market analysis, L&Q has identified only one provider in the market which is capable of meeting all of its requirements and for this technical reason, competition is absent.
L&Q shall not enter into the contract before the end of a period of at least 10 days following the publication of this notice.
