- 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
DoH and CPD have exhausted all other procurement options due to timeframe and available stenography resources. This contract is therefore being awarded through the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) using Regulation 32 2 b ii due to technical reasons as the supplier has extensive experience of public inquiries and can meet the tight timeframe.
- Review procedure
The Public Contract Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). The authority incorporated a standstill period (i.e a minimum of 10 calendar days) before this contract was awarded.
