Justification:
The standard open procedure time limits are impracticable to fulfil the purpose of procuring a solution to run a pilot test at the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday 3rd June 2017. Running a pilot at this significant event offers a rare opportunity due to its size and the related security considerations. The solution is expected to bring significant operational benefits in safeguarding this environment.
