Purpose

EVOLVE is an online system for the planning,
approval and management of educational visits, sports fixtures and
extra-curricular activities.

This waiver is to seek to waive Procurement Rule 9 which requires 3
quotes for requirements between £10,000 to £74,999. The
product is unique and from a proprietary supplier which is the
reason for not completing a further competition.
The supplier has advised that they do not work with resellers so we
are unable to explore compliant routes to market via a reseller
framework. No alternative options exist but to purchase through a
direct award route.

The customer, Alan Wilton, Head of Service from the Safety &
Resilience team has been consulted in the decision making process
to waive procurement rules.
