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

In compiling the statement of requirements for the next phase, it has become apparent that the consulting Project Manager will need in-depth knowledge of QMU’s existing culture and processes and procedures across the whole finance and department as well as in-depth knowledge of Unit 4’s ERP Finance Software. Although multiple organisations may have experience with Unit 4’s systems, the technical knowledge regarding QMU’s internal finance operations currently only exists with the proposed Consultant through their work in the first phase.
