Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
FDG is only available commercially from a handful of UK suppliers. FDG-18 has a half-life of 110 minutes; this limits the distance over which it can be transported. There are regulatory restrictions on the length of time after production that the FDG-18 can be administered, and so we are reliant on a twice-daily supply from Alliance Medical’s Preston site. No other supplier exists within this radius and so competition is absent for technical reasons.
