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