Why no open competition: Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
Published justification: The award of the contract is urgent as the funding is predicated on the service starting on 1st April 2024. This was not foreseen by the ICB and means that the time limits required to conduct a procurement process in line with the Regulations cannot be complied with.
