Replacing it would involve significant migration effort, retraining, and potential disruption to critical operations.\nFor VertiGIS software in the UK \u0026 Ireland, 1Spatial is the sole distributor/reseller, so the required licensing and associated rights are only available through that route\nContinuity/interoperability - NGN already has VertiGIS (incl. Geocortex/VertiGIS Studio) embedded in live environments. Moving to an alternative would likely entail significant re\nengineering, migration risk and incompatibilities with existing ArcGIS based workflows;\nthese are the kinds of technical reasons Schedule 5 within the Procurement Act 2023 is\ndesigned to address. Government guidance recognises direct award where only one\nsupplier can meet the requirement and there are no reasonable substitutes.",
