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

Magnox Ltd considers that there are no other suppliers in the UK market who are able to perform this full scope of works. 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.

This was demonstrated by no response to the VEAT issued in June 2021
