The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive (for supplies only): No

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons

Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

Procurement of supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market: No
