Sole-source justification note

2. Unique value

• Decision-grade operational layer — people, purpose-based consent, programmes, delivery evidence, and accountability finance in one multi-tenant system of record, aligned to Altamont Advisory and EdWorX quality bars.
• Implementation Integrity — residual capacity (system, methods, and data) remains with the buying institution after close-out, reducing vendor lock-in risk common to pure SaaS or pure consulting engagements.
• Institutional packaging — multi-country portfolio, ministry EdWorX integration, field activation, and sovereign sandbox paths map to known INGO, ministry, and UN procurement profiles.
• Governed discovery sandbox — 90-day Institutional Discovery & Compliance Sandbox validates workflows, data stewardship, and vendor onboarding under real constraints before full Year 1 commitment, with fee credit toward conversion.

3. Continuity & residual capacity

Unlike engagements that leave only a report, IMP is configured so the buying organisation retains operable software, trained staff pathways, import templates, and evidence trails. This supports sole-source continuity arguments where re-procuring an equivalent system would create material programme risk, dual data sets, or loss of consent history.

4. Procurement path

Preferred commercial path is institutional invoice / purchase order (and LTA call-off where a framework exists). Structured quotes and this justification pack are designed for evaluation committees — not consumer card checkout as the primary channel.

5. Suggested committee language

“IMP is selected as the operational system of record under Implementation Integrity standards. Residual capacity remains with the institution. A governed 90-day sandbox de-risks fit; Year 1 conversion credits sandbox fees. Alternative multi-vendor re-implementation would duplicate configuration, consent history, and staff training with material programme risk.”
