The Agency considered that an IT services company would be best placed to exploit the Agency's expertise

1.22  The Agency considered that, because their effectiveness in managing the radio spectrum was dependent upon their information systems, the provider of these systems would know enough about them to market them internationally. As provider of IT services the Agency's partner would be familiar with the Agency's business and could therefore market not just the information systems but also the Agency's expertise. In addition the Agency considered that the commercial potential of these systems would give the partner a clear incentive to concentrate on the efficient and effective delivery of the Agency's IT services. For these reasons the Agency decided to include the exploitation of their expertise as part of their strategic partnership.
