No other supplier can provide a comparable solution at this time:\n1)\twithin the required timescales \n2)\twithout causing significant disruption to the business and passengers\n3))\twithout undermining the delivery of value for money at a critical stage of technological development.\nThe renewal of this maintenance and support agreement is essential to ensure passengers continue to have the ability to book tickets via the app and that this service provisions continues uninterrupted to avoid disruption to an essential public transport service. \nDuring the term of this new agreement, further investment to support the completion of \u0027in flight\u0027 development is necessary and further limited essential development to support passenger use of the application.
