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: FLS has a separate contract for car parking machines with Metric. The same company, due to their specialist engineers and unique replacement parts, are the only economic operator capable of maintaining/repairing /servicing the machines.
