Procedure rationaleOn 30 August 2022, Xoserve (on behalf of the Utilities Cadent Gas Limited, Northern Gas Limited and Wales & West Utilities) launched a procurement for the new NDMSP contract under notice 2022/S 000-024117, using the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. This procurement was based on information available prior to making the call for competition regarding the technology architecture requirements. During the procurement process, changes to these requirements meant that the basis on which the overall requirements had been drafted was no longer correct. The Utilities therefore reviewed the procurement and concluded that the change in circumstances would have affected bidders' decisions as to whether (or not) to participate in the procurement, and the preparation of their tenders. The Utilities therefore considered that the procurement would need to be re-started and issued a notice to discontinue the procurement on 13 February 2023 with reference 2023/S 000-004329. As noted previously, the Utilities have a legal and regulatory obligation to ensure that NDMSP will continue from 1 April 2023 after the existing contract expires on 31 March 2023. It is the Utilities' understanding, based on information received during the original procurement, that: (a) this deadline can only be achieved if the successful bidder can integrate with the existing technology architecture; and (b) this integration cannot be achieved in the required timescales, except by the named economic operator. The Utilities therefore consider that, for all relevant purposes, the works, supplies and services under the contract can be supplied only by the economic operator named, that competition is absent for technical reasons, and that there is no reasonable alternative or substitute. The Utilities therefore intend to award the contract to the named economic operator under the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition, under UCR, regulation 50(1)(c)(ii).
