Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement

The contracting authority wishes to buy additional services which are the same or compatible with existing provisions (both those already supplied or that are contracted to be supplied). A change of supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing services and that difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance
