Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

Bespoke technical solution for ticket retailing linked into ticketing machines at Stansted Airport with numerous technical interfaces with other systems. Any change of supplier would take significant time to openly procure and mobilise with a need to develop a bespoke software and hardware solution.
