Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published |
No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleThe Negotiated without Prior Publication process was deemed the most appropriate solution due to the technical complexity, proprietary equipment, software coding and engineering know-how of the bespoke system. GE is the designer and OEM of the System, and no other reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of a competition is not the result of artificially narrowing the parameters of the requirement. |
