Procedure rationaleThis was not a direct award of contract.
The Assembly Commission conducted a further competition from the Crown Commercial Services framework Network Services, RM3808 (lot 2 - local connectivity services). This framework had been put in place by CCS under Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015.
All suppliers (30+) on the framework were invited to tender. It was conducted in line with the user protocol published with the framework and the principles of public sector procurement were upheld. |
