"procurementMethodRationale": "The only viable means of acquiring a product that delivers image capture and machine learning \ncapabilities to assess lineside equipment and condition is via One Big Circle , the sole owner of this \nproduct. No alternative suppliers can provide a n equivalent product that meets the technical, \noperational, and compatibility requirements of the AIVR product.\nIn accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, a Direct Award is permitted where competition is absent \nfor technical reasons and where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. In this instance, the \nrequirement for a like -for-like product , capable of seamless integratio n without disproportionate cost, \ndelay, or technical risk, means that competition cannot be meaningfully achieved. TfWR is therefore \nsatisfied that the conditions for a Direct Award under the Procurement Act 2023 are met, and that this \nprocurement route repr esents the only lawful, proportionate, and effective means of securing the \nrequired product within the necessary timescales.",
