Single supplier - technical reasons
This contract is awarded without prior publication of a competitive procedure because: - The goods are highly specialised medical devices essential for patient care. - R&D Surgical Ltd is the sole UK distributor of Titanium Pectus Bars with a Bridged Stabilizer to prevent rolling and movement of the bar. - No reasonable alternative or substitute exists that meets the required clinical specifications. Therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons.
