- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Further Following Competitive Procedure
- Published justification
initial scoping of RT3-25 indicated that a change in supplier would result in the MOD receiving services that are different from, and incompatible with existing REDSHOE activity, and that the difference from and incompatibility with REDSHOE would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in delivering the RT3-25 operation.
