- 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
To ensure continuity of service to the PSNI for their critical business functions, PSNI require a hardware refresh of their Integrated Ballistic Identification System. PSNI have relied on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) to enable PSNI to maintain its integration and accreditation with NABIS that no other organisation can provide.

Unsatisfactory Performance may, in accordance with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended), be excluded from future public. procurement competitions for a period of. up to three years.
