- 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
Regulation 32 (5) (b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (amended) enables the Department to negotiate a contract directly with one or more economic operators, where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics, which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
