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

The supplier has the benefit of an option over part of the site. The option gives them a contractual right to acquire the land and bring forward its redevelopment. To carry out the further development of Dock 3 – this is based on the way in which the site is being developed such that the proposed terrace of office units’ straddle both the existing site and the land the subject of the option. The supplier was commissioned to carry out design, enabling and other works to the whole site. To appoint a developer following the completion of those works would thereby incur a time delay, in understanding the site. It is likely the buildings on site will be heated by a series of ground source heat pumps. This sort of technical approach will only work on a site-wide basis. Surface water drainage to serve the site, also requires a site-wide approach. Finally, there are other practical issues in having two developers working on the same site. We understand that it in particular the developers would need to agree on how and when levels would be tied up and how and when they would work adjacent to each other on a tight site. Dock 2 was built out with the compound on the adjacent site which is the subject site here. There is no adjacent land left. If one developer develops the site, they are going to need to move a compound around. If there are two developers, it will be very difficult to have two compounds moving around a 3-acre site during a tight development programme.
