Procurement Method Rationale Classifications › Description	The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Reason for this procedure	This contract was awarded through a direct call‑off from the ESPO Framework 3S‑22, which was itself tendered in full compliance. Because framework agreements already undergo a compliant competitive tender process at the point they are established, contracting authorities are legally permitted to award call‑off contracts without publishing a new call for competition.
