Published justification

Magenta Living published a contract notice (ref: 2021/S 000-02952 ) and ran a procurement process for its new vehicle fleet hire contract using the open procedure. Two suppliers submitted tenders in response to the advert but both tenders have been evaluated by Magenta Living as being “unsuitable” under the conditions set out in Regulation 32(3) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”).

Magenta Living has reasonably determined that one of the bidders, had it not failed to meet one of the pass/fail criteria set out in the invitation to tender, would have clearly submitted the most economically advantageous tender which would have been acceptable to Magenta Living. Therefore, Magenta Living is proposing to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(a) PCR 2015 to negotiate and agree the terms of the contract with the preferred bidder subject to the requirement that it will not allow any substantial amendments to be made to the conditions of contract published in the original procurement.
