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; 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: This extension will be granted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) namely competition is absent for technical reasons and also in the alternative 32 (2) (c). This is a short extension from November 2024 to Jan 2026 to the contract with Seetec Pluss. Competition is absent as the timing of the new money from DWP has not allowed us sufficient time to tender and to transition the provision (TUPE is involved), without a break in provision. Due to the cohort involved a break in provision has been deemed unacceptable. Commercially it is not viable for another provider to take the provision and staff on and run for 1 year. The value of the existing contract is £2281000 with the proposed amendment being of the value of £2.1m.

Publisher note: As per the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the Council will not be awarding a contract until at least 10 days have passed from the date of this notice. Any representations to the Council on this award should be received by Midnight 1st August 2024. A Prior Information Notice has been published as the Council is seeking to engage with the market on the replacement for this Contract.
