The procurement follows the rationale under the framework ESPO (664_25), ensuring that the chosen supplier uniquely meets the required service and value objectives.

We reviewed information about the suppliers within the framework documentation and established that for the service we require, the chosen supplier was the only one who provides the required service, materials and guidance we specifically need, whilst also achieving the required value for money.
