Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleThe University of Warwick is not a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations2015 (as amended) and its procurement activities are not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the obligations under the European Public Procurement Directives, including the European Remedies Directive. Advertisement of any contract is at the sole discretion of the University and is undertaken on a voluntary basis with no implied obligation to comply with the procurement legislation.
In line with 72 1 (b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor-
(i)cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or
(ii)would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract;
The additional costs have come about due to Covid, the work completed were covered by the original contract but due to Covid restrictions the programme took longer to complete and effected some of the sub contractors so that capability had to be created by TDi to deliver some of the works directly. This force majeure event caused a cost overrun to achieve the original contracted deliverables |
