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: The award of this contract to a single supplier relies on Public Contract Regulations 2015 32(2)(b)(ii); where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The UK does not have any special review body with responsibility for appeal/mediation procedures in public procurement competitions. Instead, any challenges are dealt with by the High Court, Commercial Division, to. which proceedings may be issued regarding alleged breaches of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended)
