Overview

Fire and Emergency has awarded Motorola Solutions NZ Limited (NZBN 9429039492920 ) a contract to reinstate the Service and Support Agreement for IGC radios through/by Loop Technology as Motorola New Zealand’s sole authorised agent.

The contract was reinstated for a term of 2 years. This was a direct source procurement process where Government Procurement Rule 14.9 c (i) and Rule 14.9 d was applied. The exemption is justified in that:
Rule 14.9 c i: Only one supplier:
c If the goods, services or works can be supplied by only one supplier and there is no reasonable alternative or substitute because:
i for technical reasons there is no real competition

Rule 14.9 d Additional goods/services/works following an open tender where a change of supplier cannot be made for economic or technical reasons would result in significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of cost.

Motorola Solutions NZ are the sole supplier of Fire and Emergency’s IGC radios, having won an open competitive tender in 2016/17, resulting in a contract to supply the radios through Spark NZ Limited. The contract expired but Fire and Emergency wishes to continue operating and supporting the radios while it decides how to proceed with the ongoing provision of its incident ground communication capability.
