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: Caché is owned, maintained and supported solely by InterSystems. Only InterSystems can provide Caché licenses and support services.
Appointing an alternative organisation to provide Caché licenses and support services is therefore not an option
