THAMESLINK SOUTHERN GREAT NORTHERN LIMITED · 22 Sept 2026 · VODAFONE LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: The cost of change to potentially swap all circuits to another provider is a significant undertaking which is not proportionate to potential commercial savings if a tender exercise were undertaken. This is due to a high proportion of the applicable sites being situated in high population areas which would pose a significant impact to time, cost and operational disruption to install new circuits. Independent benchmarking exercises have been undertaken to ensure value for money and cost efficiencies in this extension of services.

University Of Edinburgh · 22 Sept 2026 · Assa Abloy · Official notice
Rationale: The University’s estate operates an established Assa Abloy master key system incorporating a restricted key profile. Assa Abloy holds the relevant patent and/or registered design protections and exclusive manufacturing and supply rights for the specific restricted key profile and associated restricted components used by the University. Accordingly, the compatible restricted key blanks, cylinders and associated proprietary components required to maintain, repair and extend the existing master key infrastructure can only be lawfully manufactured and supplied by Assa Abloy, or via authorised channels obtaining those restricted components from Assa Abloy. Transitioning to an alternative locking system would require widespread replacement and recommissioning of cylinders and locks across the estate, reconfiguration of master key arrangements and consequential access management changes across operational and security‑critical areas. This would result in significant cost, operational disruption and increased security management risk during migration. A competitive procurement process would not provide effective competition for the restricted elements of the requirement, as any alternative supplier would still need to source the restricted components from the intellectual property rightsholder in order to maintain compatibility with the University’s existing system. Accordingly, the University intends to award the contract without prior publication/competition to ASSA ABLOY on the basis that the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights, means there is no reasonable alternative or substitute capable of providing the required restricted components while maintaining the integrity, continuity and security of the University’s existing restricted master key arrangements.

JAMES PAGET UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST · 22 Sept 2026 · ICS Operations trading as Xyla Services · Official notice
Rationale: Patients would have experienced delayed procedures, resulting in extended waits and increased 52 and 65 week breaches. Delays to planned treatment increase the risk of deterioration in patients' clinical condition, pain, anxiety and avoidable emergency admissions. The situation was not foreseeable due to an unforeseen issue with clinical staff. Alternative providers could not realistically mobilise within the required timeframe. Xyla was able to mobilise at pace based on prior experience and workforce availability. A competitive PSR process would have delayed mobilisation and resulted in longer patient waits, undermining NHS England recovery requirements, including progress against 52‑week and 65‑week waits.

Oxford City Council · 22 Sept 2026 · CANTAY ESTATES LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: Decision to award the contract directly to the Supplier in accordance with the justification contained in Schedule 5, paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, on the basis that the following conditions are met: " (a) due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works." Condition (a) is met because: (1) the Supplier owns the freehold in the land which is subject to the proposed development and therefore possesses exclusive proprietary rights in the land; and The site was formerly occupied by a timber yard and was marketed on the open market by the previous owner, the Order of St John, through Jones Lang LaSalle real estate company. Following this process, Cantay Estates Ltd successfully secured the site through an unconditional offer and now controls the development opportunity. As a result, Cantay Estates Ltd is the only party capable of bringing forward development on this specific site. (2) the Supplier has firmly indicated that the proposed development could only be carried out by the Supplier and therefore only it can supply the works involved in completing the proposed development. Condition (b) is met because the Council has explored all potential alternatives to the works involved in the proposed development, as detailed below, but has not been able to identify a reasonable alternative.
Ministry of Defence · 22 Sept 2026 · DAVALL GEARS LTD · Official notice
Rationale: This direct award relies upon the justification at paragraph 5 of schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023. Davall Gears Limited is the original equipment designer and manufacturer of the Hand Operated Traverse Gearbox. It is the owner of the intellectual property rights in the Hand Operated Traverse Gearbox and of the technical documentation necessary to enable repair and so is the only supplier that can supply the services required. Furthermore, paragraph 6 of schedule 5 is relied upon due to there being an absence of competition because no other provider possesses the technical know-how and data necessary to perform the requirement without introducing an unacceptable level of risk to operational safety and MOD operational requirements. There is no reasonable alternative supplier because the information, rights and know how necessary to effect the repairs are proprietary to Davall Gears Limited.
