The framework was retendered and OMD Group Ltd retained the business, they are the only supplier on the Lot 1. The market is uncontested on media buying and it is a reasonable solution decision to proceed with OMD based on conditions that there is no reasonable alternative in the market.\nIn the case of this procurement competition is absent and only one supplier can provide the expertise to provide an integrated, end-to-end service for media buying on our existing marketing campaigns with no further competition needed or has capacity to complete on the scale required.",
