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

The contracting entity undertook pre-market engagement through publication of an F04 notice. Market engagement and subsequent assessment confirmed that only one economic operator is currently capable of meeting the technical and operational requirements of the contract. No alternative suppliers demonstrated the capability to deliver the requirement. The contracting entity therefore intended to award the contract using the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contracting entity then published an optional F15 VEAT Notice to provide additional transparency prior to contract award. The Contracting Entity observed a voluntary 10-calendar day standstill period starting from the day after the F15 notice was published. This standstill period has now concluded and the contracting entity has awarded the contract.
