- 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
As the supplier holds exclusive rights to the IDHub and are currently undertaking a range of development services (ie Public appointments, PRONI invoicing, Fireworks licensing etc) which due to technical necessity must be permitted to continue to allow for transition of all services to in-house ITA EDD over the next two years.
Regulation 72(1) (b) Additional works, services or supplies “have become necessary” and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs - provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
The increased additional expenditure is within the 50% cap of the original contract. This will permit the ITA EDD to continue critical services. This modification request is for £2,240,000
- Review procedure
CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and, where appropriate, will incorporate a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into..
