- 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
First Greater Western Railway (GWR) are the local rail network operator and hence have exclusive rights to develop and implement the best possible operational configuration for a new station on the local rail network. If any potential third parties could be appointed to provide the project management, goods and services required, they would be subject to GWR's approval standards, policies and processes, which would add unnecessary costs and additional time to the project due to the additional approvals required and any subsequent amendments demanded.
Torbay Council is therefore proposing to contract directly with GWR through a cooperation agreement for the requirements.
