No other supplier can supply the software and there are no suitable alternatives. \nTo meet the Authority\u2019s requirement, the software to be purchased has to be compatible with the existing Jeppesen Foreflight Despatch software. The currently used Jeppesen Foreflight Despatch software is a unified flight planning and collaboration hub which optimises flight planning and bridges the gap between flight planners and pilots. This is embedded across the Air Mobility operation and runs on Jeppesen systems that are not capable of integrating with software from a third party.\nThe interoperability between the Foreflight Despatch software and potential EFB software is critical for pilots to receive real time updates to flight paths, weather conditions and other essential data whilst in the air. The Jeppesen EFB software has the widest coverage of global aeronautical information. The consequence of having a different model would result in an unacceptable reduction in operational effectiveness and safety, there would be an increase costs.",
