Procurement Method Details
Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The contract was awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, due to extreme urgency arising from unforeseeable circumstances not attributable to the contracting authority. The situation necessitated the immediate continuation of critical services, and the time limits for a compliant competitive procurement procedure, including accelerated routes, could not be met. The scope and duration of the contract have been strictly limited to what is necessary to address the urgent requirement and ensure continuity of service.
