Supplier: Vercel Inc.
Circumstances justifying exemption: 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. Vercel was made by the creators of Next.js, which is the primary framework for RNZ’s platform. That connection offers a genuine advantage. Competitors offer comparable CDN and build-and-deploy services but not packaged with Next.js maintenance; there is no genuine substitute without re-platforming.
