other-exclusive

The services are required to be procured from the current service provider responsible for the SIS Recast under Contract CT 3007/2021, as they possess the necessary technical knowledge, system access and continuity required to implement the technical refresh without risks to the operations environment. The infrastructure middleware and application layers are tightly integrated within the existing setup and any change in provider would introduce significant technical risk, service disruption, and delays. Furthermore, the requirement to implement these upgrades within the applicable timeframe to maintain operation continuity and compliance with EU obligations reinforces the necessity of engaging the current provider.
