Legal Justification
Intersystems are the only supplier of these licences.Frameworks for Cache licences were considered, reviewed and eliminated. There was no reference to BSO on the Contract Award Notices. In addition, the scope of the required procurement does not appear to fit within the scope of the frameworks. We wish to reply on schedule 5 section 5 (a) due to Intersystems having the intellectual property rights. They are the only suppier able to provide the services.
