Legal Justification

Part of the extra licences needed for NDHT are available for RD&E’s ‘affiliate users’ under the original contract and according to Reg 72(1)(a). For licences above the original contract and associated services, RD&E is modifying the contract under Reg 72(1)(b) because a change of contractor would (1) prevent interoperability and (2) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs. Epic is providing all existing licences to RD&E and a proportion of the licences to NDHT under the original contract, so another supplier could not feasibly deliver solely the additional licences above the permitted volumes. Further, since Epic will be providing the underlying licences, it has the expertise and knowledge to deliver the associated services including trained people and intellectual property rights. The forthcoming merger needs common clinical systems which would be disrupted by another supplier. The value of the modification is less than 50 % of the original contract.
