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 contract was awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, due to extreme urgency arising from unforeseeable circumstances not attributable to the contracting authority. The situation necessitated the immediate continuation of critical services, and the time limits for a compliant competitive procurement procedure, including accelerated routes, could not be met. The scope and duration of the contract have been strictly limited to what is necessary to address the urgent requirement and ensure continuity of service.
