Legal advice relating to associated strategic financial and contingency planning

The public contract concerns the creation or acquisition of a unique work of art or artistic performance.

In paragraph 2, "novel goods or services" means goods or services designed or developed at the request of the contracting authority.

The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-

(a)due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and

(b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.

The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-

(a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and

(b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
