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

Competition is absent for technical reasons.

The contract requires significant knowledge and understanding of the project. A change of supplier would cause technical difficulties in completing the design, increasing costs and delaying to the overall programme.
