Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

This is a new procurement and following our searches on the Digital Marketplace the Council found CareCubed as a unique solution with some key differences to traditional approaches. It is used nationally by providers and commissioners, built using independent data sources and provides the council with a solution across all age cohorts.
