- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
The estimated value of the contract is below the applicable threshold for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement therefore falls outside the requirement under Part 2 of the Regulations to publish a contract notice on Find a Tender prior to award. The procurement has instead been undertaken in accordance with the contracting authority's applicable below-threshold procurement requirements and internal commercial procedures, using the Route 3 Self-serve process.
