- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
An original competetive exercise was undertaken in 2024 with the clear explanation that the successful Tenderer migth be awarded additional work, without competition. This was decided due to the requirement of consistency of gym equipment across the county and is permitted by the Framework
- Performance terms
The minimum financial requirement for the purposes of the current tender exercise is stated in the procurement documents.
This framework will operate on-going contract monitoring procedures following award, to ensure financial stability requirements are maintained.
Credit rating checks will be carried out on a regular basis, using a credit rating agency.
Any changes will be assessed (compared with a baseline credit rating score obtained at contract award stage) and significant changes or sustained degradation will be investigated.
- Review procedure
Information on deadlines(s) for review procedures can be found in Part 3, Chapter 6 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
