Why no open competition: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
Published justification: Award a contract directly as this approach is allowed under the UCR's where restrictions on the use of IPR do not trigger a requirement to conduct a new OJEU-compliant tender process.
We believe in this circumstance the following is applicable:
Regulation 50.(1) Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following cases-
(c) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons -
(iii) the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights*
*noting that this applies where no reasonable alternative or substitute exist.
