Explanation:
Regulation 76 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 allows a contracting authority to determine the procedure that is to be applied in connection with the award of a contract and may take account of the specialties of the services in question and the requirements and needs of users In this case, no prior notice has been issued on the basis that there are sufficient technical reasons to allow the direct award.
