- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
The Contracting Authority advertised a procurement process for a design and build works contract on eTendersNI in March 2021.
The advertised estimated value of the contract was £4.5m which was below the threshold that applied at that time, therefore a contract
notice was not published for this opportunity. The Contracting Authority received one response at PQQ stage which was successfully
pre-qualified for the tender stage of the procurement. The Contracting Authority progressed with the tender stage (which included
negotiation) and the ultimate value of the contracts awarded was £14,062,782.00 across 2 sites - Duke Street (£11,606,282.00) awarded on 16.02.2022 and Victoria Hall, Spencer Road. (£2,456,500.00) awarded on 08.02.2022
The Contracting Authority is publishing this VEAT notice to inform the market of the procurement process and subsequent contract award.
A notice was not published (due to the estimated value falling below the threshold) and the Association will publish a "relevant contract award notice" in line
with Regulation 93 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
