    Brief

    This is a contract details notice, not a call for competition. This procurement is being concluded without competition due to technical reasons—only a particular supplier can provide the required software package, and there are no reasonable alternatives available. The requirement is for a software package to be supplied by a sole-source vendor. Potential suppliers should review the full contract details to understand the specific software solution and terms.
