Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

This procurement is justified as a direct award to Rhodar Ltd due to the unique technical and operational requirements of the project, combined with a critical time constraint. Competing the work would risk unacceptable delays, cost increases, and reputational harm to UKRI.

Rhodar is the only supplier able to deliver the bespoke 12m fire-rated wall (fire stopping service) due to access constraints and the specialist design already approved.
