Legal Justification

Under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 33(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons as follows: COPFS has a business critical requirement for JEGS services. Willis Towers Watson own the copyright to the JEGS software and they grant licences to organisations to use it. Beamans is the only Cabinet Office approved organisation who is under licence to provide training for the JEGS system until March 2022. This is through a framework awarded by the Department of Work and Pensions on behalf of the UIK Civil Service. As COPFS is part of the UK Civil Service its jobs have to be assessed using JEGS, which means support can only be provided by Beamans.
