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 benefit of using HVTS as the supplier is as follows:

Affordable availability of 2nd hand equipment these items are immediately available at half the price of new test equipment which will in turn have a positive effect on timescales and delivery of service.
Water terminations will work with the existing water conditioning unit at the test site ensuring continuity in supply.
Whilst two pieces of equipment are new, it is more cost effective to include them in this contract, to ensure complete compatibility with existing systems.
