Procedure rationaleThe Authority considers the award constitutes a compliant procurement under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (PCR), Regulation 32.2:<br/>(2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:<br/>(b)where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:<br/>(ii)competition is absent for technical reasons<br/>CL:AIRE is a registered charity (No. 1075611) and an environmental body registered with ENTRUST (Entrust No. 119820). The CL:AIRE organisation was created with the backing of the UK government in 1999 as a not-for-profit company to encourage the demonstration and research of practical solutions for the clean-up of contaminated land. CL:AIRE works closely with industry to undertake research and provide advice and training to both the private and public sector on land contamination and associated topics. <br/>The Authority holds principal membership of CL:AIRE and has worked in collaboration with the group over recent years to deliver a wide range of innovative projects. CL:AIRE hosts a Technology and Research Group (TRG), an advisory group made up of leading professionals who support CL:AIRE on technology development issues and provide guidance on issues relating to the sustainable reuse of land. Therefore CL:AIRE is in a unique position to facilitate wider industry and academic engagement, and to collate and incorporate valuable technical input from numerous stakeholders due to their position and standing within the land contamination community. The inclusion of industry and academic technical input adds a real-world and current best practice component to projects delivered. The national and international organisations which are part of the CL:AIRE membership have resources, networks and access to data and information from across the world that otherwise the Authority would be unable to access and benefit from. CL:AIRE is also able to attract third party funding for projects the Authority undertakes with CL:AIRE, that would not be available to the Authority, and would otherwise make projects unaffordable for the Authority to undertake without collaborating with CL:AIRE.
