Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

ONR asserts its belief that CIEHF are the only economic operator that are capable to support ONR for this requirement. CIEHF have specific experience in developing human factor learning pathways and subject matter expertise in the development of courses that gain accreditation by academic institutions. This puts them in a unique position to develop a suitable learning pathway for the nuclear industry.

ONR has no knowledge of any other suitable provider who holds the ability to satisfy its full set of requirements and consequently asserts that all general grounds have been satisfied.
