Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

The direct award justification relied up to award the contract falls under single suppliers, para 6 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023. Due to an absence of competition for technical reasons only Debtwire can supply the specific service required and there are no reasonable alternatives to those services.
