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: This service is bespoke to the University and is for the extension of existing supply of current integrated payment platform. A change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire suppliers having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and business delivery.
