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

There is no other provider that provides the same functionality and integration for Recurring Card Payments (RCP) in the sector. Potentially comparable solutions lack the same level of integration, automation, flexibility, self-service and DCC capabilities. To contact with a new provider will take two years to implement and will be at significant cost. It has been agreed that a tender process taking this into consideration will commence next year.
