- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
- Published justification
Torus’ Flowers Lane site benefits from full planning permission with the Section 106 requirement for a minimum of 30% affordable homes. Provisionally, the site was openly advertised to the market with proposals invited for any of the following: -
i)The building out of the site
ii)The purchase of the land
iii)The building out of the s.106 units and the remainder of the site for the developer
iv)Any other proposals.
Given exceptional market conditions and significant costs, the building out of the site was not a viable option. Castle Green Homes Limited proposed to buy the land and provide build-out of 120 x Section 106 units and provide a further 460 x housing units to Torus at additionality sites.
While alternative offers were received, none were comparable with Castle Green Homes Limited’s proposal, which offered Torus three times the amount of additional affordable units via additionality sites compared to any other bid.
Under Regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the contracting authority considers that the works can be supplied only by Castle Green Homes Limited, who hold exclusive rights of ownership over the additionality sites.
Further, in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) in conducting a market test prior to use of the negotiated procedure, the contracting authority considers that there has been no artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and that no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
