Procurement Information
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in Find a Tender Service or the Official Journal of the European Union in the case listed below: Regulation 32 exempt: 32(2)(b)(ii) whereby "competition is absent for technical reasons". ONR asserts it belief that the University of Manchester are the only economic operator in the EU that are capable to support ONR with independent, research and expert advice to mount an authoritative but constructive challenge to the Licensee's arguments / submissions and to ensure that judgements made are consistent with a broadly-based authoritative scientific consensus. Containing experts; leading academic authority and industry professionals, ONR has no knowledge of any other fully independent operator who holds the ability to satisfy its requirement at present and consequently asserts general grounds are satisfied.
