Description

This is a continuation of existing services we utilise from them, with this being embedded in our current BCP.

Legal Justification

Due to embedded Business Continuity Planning within the organisation around ICT backup, it is not practical or feasible to change suppliers at this stage. Additional or repeat goods or services is the most suitable option for this direct award request, however, extreme and unavoidable urgency could also apply to this, as not continuing with the incumbent supplier and beginning a new procurement exercise at this stage in the existing contract would mean that there would be no data backup support and the organisation's ICT BCP would be void.
