Procedure rationaleBangor University are the leading academic research institute for sustainable shellfish research and management in Wales. Bangor University also host the leading research groups on European seabass stock management in Wales.
The data for 2 out of 3 aspects is using data owned by Bangor, the third aspect is the scallop survey itself for which Bangor owns the only vessel available capable of delivering the service, the only other vessel owned by Cefas is fully booked for the next year so unable to deliver this work. Research has failed to identify any other vessels capable of the work. In addition, Bangor have the standard operating procedures, staff, contacts and scientific equipment to deliver this survey in the timeframe required, which could not be met by anyone else. They are technically uniquely positioned, with the trained staff, facilities, experience, skills, knowledge, and existing data to deliver the work at pace.
From the information above, Bangor University are the only organisation capable of delivering this work, and so the request falls within the requirements of Regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations as "competition is absent for technical reasons". |
