Procedure rationaleUnder UCR Reg50 "Use of the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition" Clause C (ii) "competition is absent for technical reasons" applies as to why NTL has to award a contract directly to Elite without prior call for competition. Under this clause there are various reasons as to why Elite are covered;
1. Technical Uniqueness: The required goods and services have been designed by Elite and specified by the owner of the trains NTL is operating. As NTL doesn't own our trains but leases them we are therefore obliged to use the equipment specified. As such only Elite are able to supply the alternator.
2. Exclusive Rights: Elite holds various copyrights and IPR that prevent other suppliers from offering the same product or service.
3. Technical Expertise: Elite possess the required level of technical expertise, know-how, and specialized knowledge to maintain, overhaul & repair the alternators linked with point two above. |
