Why no open competition
Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive
Published justification

SPS had tendered this requirement in the latter part of 2021 and received no viable bids beyond the incumbent supplier. Volatile market conditions and lack of availability of fresh milk in Scotland and the UK have subsequently led to potential suppliers not seeking new business.
