Scope, procedure and submissions

Id: 715966475
Status: complete
Procurement Method: direct
Procurement Method Details: Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen: In accordance with Section 41(1)(a) of the Procurement Act 2023 (the “Act”), the Authority intends to rely on the Single Supplier direct award justification, as set out in Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 of the Act, to award a public contract directly to the Supplier not being an excluded Supplier. It is considered that a direct award is permissible under the Act on the basis that, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only the Supplier can carry out the services. This is because the Supplier is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) of the TERRIER and is the only Supplier that has the technical knowledge and Suitably Qualified Expert Personnel (“SQEP”) to provide the requirement and ensure the configuration, security, overall safety, and performance of each spares item. Only the Supplier has the in-depth understanding of the complexities of the platform to ensure safety risks are as low as reasonably possible. Accordingly, the Supplier is considered as the only supplier that can provide the services required and there are no alternatives to those services as required by the Authority. The contract will not be awarded to an excluded supplier. A Contract Award Notice and Contract Details Notice will follow in accordance with Procurement Act 2023.
