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 bus tickets can only be purchased by the relevant bus operator who runs that route. As bus routes can be set up under the Traffic Act as a commercial operation - only that bus operator can offer tickets for their routes.
