Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

Deutz, as the OEM, is the only supplier capable of providing AdBlue that is guaranteed to be compatible with their engines.

The procurement is therefore technically exclusive, as no other supplier can meet the specific requirements without compromising quality or reliability.
