- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
A direct award via the CCS framework RM6277 is justified because it is a fully compliant and legally permitted route that allows continuation of the existing call‑off contract without altering scope, pricing, or deliverables, ensuring uninterrupted specialist support for the clinically critical ePMA system; the current supplier already possesses essential programme knowledge and highly specialised technical expertise, and the limited market for ePMA professionals means re‑procurement would risk delays, higher costs, and service disruption, whereas the framework enables a rapid, low‑risk, best‑value extension through a Contract Change Notice in line with framework provisions
