Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: G&T are best placed to support the objectives at pace due to previous PAM modelling commissions, in particular PAM modelling for Argyll, EGL2, EGL3, Spittal to Peterhead and Western Isles schemes. Accordingly, a single source is justified through (a) an existing methodology to produce PAM modelling at pace; (b) ability to exploit synergies and economies of scale through a pipeline of PAM modelling; and (c) no IPR / interface constraints in producing a dynamic dashboard.
