Why no open competition

Purchase of supplies or services on particularly advantageous terms from the liquidator in an insolvency procedure, an arrangement with creditors or a similar procedure under national laws and regulations

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.
