Why no open competition

Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement; Additional Repeat Further Following Competitive Procedure

Published justification

Transferring the existing warranties and guarantees would result in significant financial costs and delays for UKRI, due to supplier markups and risk premiums; as the primary subcontractor to Russells, Sudlows has the knowledge, resources, and capability to manage and maintain the building without impacting any warranties.
