Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew recently ran an open competition, and now intends to award a contract for the provision of Economic Evaluation of Kew, at an estimated value of £141,500.
The pre-tender estimate indicated that the value of the Contract fell below the Threshold for advertising on the Finder a Tender Service (FTS). Acting in good faith, the Contract opportunity was published on both Contracts Finder and the Delta eProcurement platform. Subsequently the bids received, and the proposed contract award, were above the legal threshold for advertising on FTS. The competition was nevertheless conducted in accordance with the principles of Public Sector Procurement, and compliant with Regulation 110 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015
This notice is not a request for expressions of interest - please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice is published for reasons of transparency.
This was an Open competition of Contracts Finder and Delta in compliance with Regulation 110 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Publisher note: If you wish to challenge this decision please ensure that you contact Joanna McKelvey, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Head of Procurement & Contract Management, on [email protected], clearly detailing the basis of the challenge, within 10 calendar days of the publication of this notice.
