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

This contract was awarded following a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service RM6098 Technology Products and Associated Services 2 (TePAS 2) framework. The procurement was therefore conducted as a call-off from an existing competitively established framework rather than as a new standalone procurement requiring a separate prior call for competition.
