Ground given for limiting competition

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

Procuring an alternative rent analytics software instead of Mobysoft would require a thorough evaluation of market options, vendor capabilities, and integration compatibility with the Council's Housing Management System. Transitioning to a new provider could result in implementation delays, additional training costs, and a temporary drop in arrears recovery efficiency. It would then require phasing out by 2028.
