Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

UK Research and Innovation had a requirement for the continuation of a Managed Service Feasibility Study with NormCyber Ltd. As per Schedule 5, paragraph 6a of the Procurement Act 2023, competition is absent for technical reasons: transferring to another supplier would invalidate existing data and disrupt 24/7 monitoring, making continuity essential for cyber security and compliance.
