- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
The Trust need to maintain continuity of AE function.
- Risks
Losing AE functions for a significant period of time could leave the Trust open to compliance issues and failure to
meet health and safety regulations. Failure to appoint an AE where HTM guidance applies could expose the Trust
to regulatory enforcement, litigation, and reputational risk, because it would indicate a gap in governance for critical
systems.
