- Why no open competition
- No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to open procedure
- Published justification
The recent regulated tender process (C0209) in the West Region of Scotland's National Forests and Land did not receive any bids. This lack of interest is attributed to the limited number of local suppliers, the extensive geographic scope of the lot, and its high value. To address this urgent and critical shortfall in capacity for delivering environmental programs, the West Region necessitates a Non-Competitive Action.
- Review procedure
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 , may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session
