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: This represents an extension of an existing support arrangement to extend the useful life of the facility for one year. These services could not reasonably be provided by an alternative service provider as the spares and technical support expertise reside with the original equipment manufacturer.
