Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: Direct call off from a single supplier framework. This supplements contracts already implemented and reduces the suppliers held by LA to source ad hoc products from a single supplier, reducing tail spend supplier management

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session
