Legal Justification

In summary, DWP has procured Customer Success Services (CCS) Engineering Professional Services from Oracle Corporation UK Ltd to support the DWP Customer Information System (CIS), Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and Child Maintenance Service (CMS) Mobilisation Planning and High-level design activity to support the migration of hosting from OPH to OCI hosting. As explained below, DWP relied on Regulation 32 to award contract directly to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. (2) (b) ii. competition is absent for technical reasons: The underpinning platform(s) supporting CIS, PIP & CMS suites are based on legacy Oracle infrastructure and bespoke products/Oracle configuration. Therefore, for these Implementation activities, Oracle is the only supplier that can upgrade and configure the Oracle product stack, migrate to an upgraded platform and provide confidence that the CIS, PIP & CMS suites in the upgraded platform are supportable and tested to ensure it successfully meets required business functional requirements. (2) (b) (iii) (iii) No reasonable alternative or substitute exists: The CIS, PIP & CMS Services relate to Oracle products which have already been procured, as such there are no reasonable alternative or substitute services available from any alternative software provider/third party. (2) (b) (iii) (iii). The absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement: The parameters of the procurement have not been artificially narrowed given the underlying technology infrastructure is already on DWP's estate and the required CIS, PIP & CMS Services relate to work on that technology infrastructure.
