- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
UK Parliament has entered into a sub-let arrangement with Westminster City Council for 10 floors of 64 Victoria Street on an internal repairing insuring (IRI) lease basis which imposes on UK Parliament responsibility to maintain and repair the interior parts of the demised premises whilst Westminster City Council is responsible for maintenance and repair of the common areas, shared M&E, exterior and structure of the building. To that end, Westminster City council has a contract with Avison Young as the building managers who have sub-contracted Vertex, following an open competition, to maintain the building including the main plant.
In practise, the integral nature of the maintenance arrangements are such that there is no practical way for UK Parliament to meet its maintenance responsibilities as a tenant in a safe and integral manner and from a technical compatibility and interface perspective with the overall building systems by means other than via the Landlord's pre-existing maintenance contractor, Vertex.
Accordingly, Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) "competition is absent for technical reasons" is deemed to apply.
