The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
It is essential that a suitable Transport Consultant is appointed as soon as possible for the Edinburgh BioQuarter project for a Travel Survey to be undertaken in early 2025 to gain data for future proposals. The complexity of the work across multiple elements of the Travel Planning that need to work together requires familiarity of the site and a high degree of technical knowledge of the project and the associated requirements and challenges.
