- 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 award of the contract to Pfizer is strictly necessary due to absence of competition for technical reasons. Regulation 32 (b)(ii).
Publisher note: Information on contract value is being withheld due to commercial sensitivity under Regulation 50(6)(b) and (c) as the publication of the price may enable competitors to calculate cost per dose. This will (i) commercially prejudice the supplier in its ongoing negotiations with other national governments; (ii) commercially prejudice the contracting authority in its ongoing negotiations with other vaccine vendors and (iii) impact fair competition between vaccine vendors.
