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

The award of the contract without prior publication is justified because the thermometer probe covers in this contract are dedicated consumables for presently installed equipment throughout NHS Scotland’s Health Boards and there is no generic competition in the market place. These products are only supplied from a single source; therefore, no opportunity to publish a call for competition.
