Why no open competition: New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
Published justification: This is a very niche service due to the nationwide coverage and ad hoc, short-notice nature of the requirement. To encourage prospective new bidders, comprehensive market engagement will be carried out later this year with an open tender to follow. (New contract start date will be 01/08/2024).
