Coverage: 8 active published awards; 7 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThis contract is awarded in accordance with the following derogations under the regulations:
I. Where competition is absent for technical reasons (regulation 32(2)(b)(ii);
II. For reasons connected with the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights (reg32(2)(b) iii) but only where
no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
BIPS cylinders are exclusive to the contractor, who have this system patented, therefore no other supplier can offer the same or similar products in UK or Ireland. |
