Legal Justification
A competitive tender opportunity was published under PCR 2015 open procedure, no bids were received. Following contacting those who expressed interest in the tender (ProContract DN750676) and previous PIN (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/181034f7-e48d-41cd-8472-9542e6...), a single supplier was identified to fulfil the contract as published and rectified inability to complete tender response.
