Legal Justification
Proposed direct award due to the uniqueness of the system that is being purchased. Fife Council's Procurement have researched multiple frameworks for possible alternatives to ensure a transparent, open and fair procurement process if conducted.

Things such as portals for Funeral Directors and Memorial Masons were not something that was commonly found on any other alternative/framework.
