Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Review Details
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts: An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session
Why this procedure was chosen
The Council intends to award a contract without prior publication of a contract notice in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 - reg 33(b) (ii) Competition is absent for technical reasons. The vehicles are available as part of the Econ Engineering Ltd existing ex-hire fleet.
