- Why no open competition
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the supply of Personal Protective Equipment to support front line staff and care providers. This does not give Liverpool City Council sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. Liverpool City Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, Liverpool City Council is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation 27(5)) in respect of this procurement.
