Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
You do not need to publish the contract opportunity on Find a Tender (FTS) or on Contracts Finder if you use a framework agreement.
Our initial opportunity was against RM6126 and therefore no notice was published as this is not a requirement as only going to suppliers on that framework or those shortlisted if using a DPS which this was.
