Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector
during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the
Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it
is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process
necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework revising expiry to September 2023.
The global market for vehicles is currently suffering severe disruption to an extent that it is understood from supplier and market feedback that a tender process could not be completed at this time.
Tender process is planned to commence by spring 2023.

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: 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.
