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: Year 2 Pilot is a direct award following on from year 1 awarded under the Scottish Borders Council Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport. Pilot depends on continuation of IT resources (booking app, ordering system) which cannot be replicated by another operator for a single year contract.

Publisher note: Pilot actual commencement date was 03/04/2023 to run until 31/03/2024 (SC Ref:751816)
