- Why no open competition
The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
A cost and time extension will allow the programme to continue delivering on the critical work on laying the foundation for key stability and governance initiatives in Somalia. Extending and increasing the cost with the current supplier is the most cost effective option, going back to the market would have a negative impact on the programmes ability to meet the Programme objectives and impact on the beneficiaries.
