Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

Previous tenders for cabinet installations in 2021 did not yield any alternative suppliers and Monmouth Scientific remains the only company, to our knowledge, who are capable of a whole project approach. Other companies are able to provide the cabinets only but are not able to complete the other necessary works needed to both safely remove existing cabinets and prepare the rooms for the new cabinets thereby necessitating sub-contracting the remaining elements to other companies which has the potential to cause significant disruption to the process and ultimately service provision.
