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 contract was awarded following a negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(i) of the Public Contract Regulations. There is only one of the relevant simulator in the world and therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons.
