Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- Additional deliveries by the original supplier
Explanation:
NMIS have had the current loan equipment on site for >2 years. In addition to significant sunk costs for commissioning and training, layers of software have been installed onto the equipment, some of which is proprietary, along with third party hardware additions.
