Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

CITB asked OneTwo to provide a quote as they are our contracted event agency but they would be outsourcing to Bubble and then adding on a substantial amount. Bubble have historically done this event for us and are contracted to do the regional heats of Skillbuild.
