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

Awarding under:

Regulation 33 (Framework Agreements)

A call-off contract under a framework is not a new procurement procedure requiring advertisement, because:

The competition already took place when the framework was established.

The call-off is conducted within the rules of that framework.
