- Why no open competition
The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive; The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
This recommendation is in accordance with Public Contracts Regulation (PCR) 2015 32(2)(b)(ii). EMEC have been identified as the only suitable provider that can meet our need as they are the only supplier of a test rig that exceeds the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles Regulations 2015 limits for e-Bikes. Most equipment is designed to test vehicles to meet the limits, so the theoretical ceiling is much lower (circa 1kw) than required for the testing needed. EMEC are the only supplier who manufacture a test rig with the ability to test vehicles with a rated power of 4kW and therefore are the only supplier who can meet our needs. Therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons.
