- 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
The facility is looking for Structural Steelwork for the construction of the new underground laboratory at Boulby Mine. The chosen supplier has a high level of understanding of local operational and health and safety systems and there are no other companies in the UK or beyond that have such experience and familiarity. To bring in and take on a new company to do this work would bring unacceptable risk to the site in terms of operational impact and safety.
