Why no open competition: Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
Published justification: The Covid-19 crisis has necessitated the cancellation of all face to face large events activity, therefore requiring us to quickly refocus the majority of our activity online; there is an immediate business need to further develop the capability to deliver large virtual events. The intention is to identify the volume of events required throughout the University and to tender in the future for a University wide system.
