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: A lack of comprehensive maintenance cover poses a significant risk to clinical quality, patient safety, and operational efficiency. Continuation of a valid maintenance contract is critical to maintaining reliable equipment performance and uninterrupted service provision.
