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

United Utilities conclusion is that the significant extra technical steps required to both transition to, and implement non-incumbent technology would present disproportionate technical difficulties when compared to continuing to procure additional supplies from the incumbent economic operator. It is therefore, necessary to conduct a negotiated procedure without prior call for competition, as highlighted above United Utilities have acted in good faith prior to coming to this decision based on the due diligence that has been conducted.
