www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8705dc58-3295… ↗<br/><br/>For Clarity and avoidance of doubt: <br/>This Contract was published on Contracts finder and is being reproduced on FTS in order to publish a Reg 72 PCR2015 modification to it.<br/><br/>The reason that 'award with no prior notice' was used here is because using Restricted Procedure Type required the PIN code of an F02 notice. As this was procured on a framework there was no F02 notice this option was chosen as a workaround to Atamis.
