Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) permits such an award where competition is absent for technical reasons. The Local Authority has a statutory duty to provide a Coroner Service for the community of Hertfordshire. As part of the Coroner's duties, he/she must establish a cause of death if none has been provided by the signing/authorising medical practitioner. To facilitate post-mortem examinations Hertfordshire County Council has contracts with local NHS Hospital mortuaries. There are 3 NHS Hospital mortuaries within Hertfordshire (or close to the Hertfordshire border) that provide post-mortem services to the Coroner Service. Currently, one mortuary would not be able to manage the volume of post-mortems requested by Hertfordshire so we need more than one contract to cover this requirement. Reg 32(2)(b) states that a procurement is not required where a service can only be supplied by a particular economic operator ENHT, WHHT and PAH in this case because \"competition is absent for technical reasons.\""
