Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

The required lot in LGRP Framework has two suppliers awarded to it. As the statutory requirements are strict regarding when and where etc the notices required advertising, there was little to no additional value to be achieved. The call-off contract is awarded solely on price and the selected supplier was the cheapest for the required service.
