About

Forestry Commission awarded a contract to Barrachd Ltd for the renewal of software licences for the COGNOS system, the agency's main financial business budget processing system.

The renewal was awarded to the incumbent supplier under Regulation 33 - Use of negotiated procedure without prior publication, specifically Reg 33 4(b), due to the transition from Forestry Commission to Forestry Land Scotland.

All Forestry Commission applications were treated as a lift and shift to Scottish Government to meet the 31/3/19 deadline, and the timescale allowed no opportunity to scope requirements aligning to FLS or source an alternative solution.

The contract value was AUD 58,041.96.
