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

As per section 32, clause 5b of the public contract regulations, the negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public supply contracts or additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. Traka is a closed protocol system and is already installed in most sites across the estate which we are now required to expand and therefore this procurement adheres to the case as set out in clause 5b. In addition to this, clause b(iii) states the negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator due to the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights which applies to this procurement as Traka own the IPR which we require to interface with the existing infrastructure

Publisher note: Supply and installation of key cabinets and radio lockers as part of the New Prison Capacity Sub Portfolio.
