- 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
The use of the negotiated tendering procedure can be justified on the basis that the services can only be supplied by Brightwave Ltd for technical reasons and no alternative exists and the absence of competition is not the result of the artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. Brightwave supply the e-learning platform, own intellectual property rights to the software/system and therefore only Brightwave can provide maintenance and support to the system.
