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: Studiosity offers a unique service in providing individual, non-subject-specific formative feedback on academic writing from trained academic writing specialists, both live and asynchronously, with their feedback located in the specific context of the academic approach and support of the University. For pedagogic reasons, we require a provider that only offers core study skills support, not subject specific support, and who could support online peer-to-peer mentoring in the future, on the same platform as the existing online study support. Studiosity are unique in fulfilling this set of requirements in a single package.
