Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
The services can only be provided by a particular provider for reasons that are technical, connected with the protection of exclusive rights and the need to purchase services which cannot be provided separately other than as an addition to the services originally provided by the supplier.
