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

No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement the Impella device is patent protected and Abiomed is the sole supplier and manufacturer of this product. This procurement is required for a specific cohort of critically ill patients. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
