Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The justification of the direct award to Clinical Research and Communication (CRC) is due to previous expertise in this cattle vaccine trial under a previous contract for these services for this programme of work therefore continuation of this work under a new contract is required. The supplier’s knowledge and understanding of the trial is vital to the success of this project which has seen considerable delays due to its complexity. There will be a risk of failure of the project if the supplier were to change at this critical stage.<br/>The justification for this STA/Direct award is under PCR 2015 Reg 32 - “Compatibility – the supplier has the relevant methodology to complete an assignment which was previously let by competitive tender”.
