Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: Re-procurement of existing Autodesk licences via CCS G‑Cloud 14 framework. The market for Autodesk is limited to a small number of authorised resellers (circa six in the UK), restricting competition. Selection supports continuity, ensures compatibility with the existing estate, and delivers efficiency through a like-for-like renewal.
