Why no open competition: New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
Published justification: No mini competition was run as the framework we have utilised allows for direct award options.
After checking internally with the business uses, and confirming that the current contract runs well with no issues, a meeting was held with the supplier and the framework owner to discuss the pricing/rates that may be applicable for a new contract. The average price increase was less than 0.2% higher than the rate of inflation.
We have utilised a framework that is live until 10th March 2028, that has permissible options to have contracts that run for 5 years beyond its end date.
