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 is a direct award due to BESA Publications Ltd. This supplier is the sole provider of the SFG20 system. This provides the BESA SFG20 technical standards and specification data required to be issued to the supply chain to deliver the required PPM and Compliance tasks in line with Industry and Health Service specifications.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
