6. Results

Direct award :
Justification for direct award : The contract can be provided only by a particular economic operator because of an absence of competition for technical reasons
Other justification : In connection with the expiration of the service agreement for the steam turbine in 2024, a market survey was conducted in the spring of 2025 to identify whether there were additional suppliers who could provide service, including spare parts. Five potential suppliers were contacted, and the market survey resulted in responses from two suppliers, one of whom did not have experience in servicing steam turbines from other manufacturers. Furthermore, the second supplier responded that they had experience in servicing steam turbines from other manufacturers, but their service program would not be able to deliver custom-made spare parts. In this case, new spare parts from another supplier would not be compatible with the existing equipment. The supplier could deliver spare parts provided that the new supplier acquires drawings and descriptions of existing parts from Fincantieri or by 3D scanning the original spare parts. We consider this problematic as the new supplier would thereby acquire business-sensitive information from a competing supplier. Beyond the challenge of delivering custom-made spare parts, the estimated costs for the supplier's service program were evaluated to be non-competitive compared to Fincantieri. Based on the challenges of changing suppliers described in the paragraphs above, the question is whether the conditions for carrying out procurement without competition are met. Of the exceptions in the Supply Regulations § 9-3, the exceptions that competition is impossible for technical reasons in letter b no. 2 are considered relevant to assess.
