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 procurement is exempt on the basis of Regulation 33(1)(b) (Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulation 2015. Given both the Landlord’s exclusive rights in the relevant land interests and for technical reasons associated with the requirements of the Council and EICC for the new hotel, the works can be provided only by the landlord and developer of the Haymarket development.
