"procurementMethodRationale": "Justifications:\n-\tSingle supplier: possession of intellectual property or other exclusive rights.\n-\tSingle supplier: absence of competition due to technical reasons and no reasonable alternatives.\nExplanation:\nThis Direct Award is required to procure the Genghis Khan special exhibition from Nomad Exhibitions. This decision is based on the following justifications:\n\u2022\tNomad Exhibitions possesses intellectual property rights and other exclusive rights pertaining to the exhibition. The proposed exhibition package is unique to Nomad Exhibitions and solely available through them. The exhibition package includes unique/ \u0027one of a kind\u0027 objects, interpretation and digital media. Nomad Exhibitions have unique and specialist expertise and relationships that enable them to deliver this package of content. This includes relationships with Mongolian lenders and government that affords them, and only them, access to this specific collection material. As well as sole control to the rights and permissions relating to the IP/rights of this package. No other alternative suppliers exist for this specific package of content that would meet the Royal Armouries requirements. Nor does the Royal Armouries have the relevant in house expertise or collection material to be able to stage this exhibition in house.\n\u2022\tThe absence of competition is due to technical reasons and a lack of reasonable alternatives. The specialised nature of the exhibition, coupled with Nomad Exhibitions\u0027 exclusive access to unique artifacts, interpretation materials, and digital assets, creates a situation where no other supplier can reasonably provide an equivalent or comparable offering. The specialist expertise and established relationships with Mongolian lenders and government bodies are also critical and cannot be readily replicated. The proposed supplier has established Intellectual Property over various items to be presented within the exhibition that is not available elsewhere.\nTherefore, given the unique nature of the exhibition, the specialist expertise required, and the absence of viable alternatives, a Direct Award to Nomad Exhibitions represents the most appropriate and effective means of securing this valuable and historically significant exhibition for the Royal Armouries Museum.",
