Procurement Information
Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) - Competition is absent for technical reasons. Under a previous contract, the awarded Supplier has developed the creative concept and narrative that the content to be produced under this contract has subsequently been designed around. The Supplier therefore holds specific, tacit, and non-transferable knowledge of the creative development of the narrative which is integral to the production of the content, and who can therefore ensure HMG will communicate the story effectively through the visitor experience.
