Purpose

The purpose of this report is
to seek approval, in accordance with Contract Procedure Rule
12.1.5(c), to waive Contract Procedure Rule 7,
and award a contract without competition to Modeshift for Knowsley Council membership including
Local Authority School and Business licences to extend a current
nationally recognised travel plan engagement and accreditation
programme within schools and workplaces in Knowsley.
 
The reasons for the decision
are, as supported by Contract Procedure Rule 12.1.5(c):  The
requirements are proprietary or
patented, which, in the opinion of the Senior Officer are only
obtainable from one supplier, and it can be demonstrated that no
reasonably satisfactory alternative is available.
