Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: A project to replace the current contract is currently underway however due to the time that it takes to conduct a procurement exercise, delays have been encountered and have meant that a short extension is required to ensure continuity of testing. This extension will be for a 4 month period.
