Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
The contract is being awarded to KBH by direct award due to exclusive intellectual property rights. KBH holds the exclusive rights to provide on‑train carriage advertising and, as a result, no reasonable alternative supplier is able to provide the required services. The conditions for direct award on the basis of intellectual property rights are therefore met.
