Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published
No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleCompetition is absent for technical reasons. The equipment must be compatible with existing equipment. A change of supplier would cause technical difficulties in completing installation, and disproportionate technical risk that would be costly and impractical to resolve.
