Ground given for limiting competition

The buyer’s own stated reason for awarding without open competition, as published. Their assertion, not a finding.

The contract was awarded via direct award under the RM6285 Back Office Software 2 (BOS2) Framework. Following market assessment, it was established that only one reseller, through its partnership and authorised reseller status with Workday, was able to provide the required Workday licences and associated services in accordance with the Intellectual Property Office requirements.
