Procurement Process – Direct sourced


Exemption from open advertising: Government Procurement Rule 14.9c allows an exemption from open advertising on the basis that ‘Only one supplier: If the goods, services or works can be supplied by only one supplier and there is no reasonable alternative or substitute because: * for technical reasons there is no real competition, or * the procurement relates to the acquisition of intellectual property or rights to intellectual property (including patents or copyrights), or other exclusive rights, or * the procurement is for a work of art. Given Equinox has provided this service for over 13 years, their technology is embedded and used by all local government, and as there is no real competition or readily available alternative in the market, and the cost of change across local government would be significant, we are directly engaging Equinox to continue to provide this service. Equinox developed the National Dog Database in 2008 and has hosted and supported it since then.
