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

The scope of these services falls within schedule 3 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and therefore the Light Touch Regime has been applied for this contract. The areas where these services are being carried out are extremely rural and can only be carried out by the local GP Practices.
