Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive; Procurement of supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market
- Published justification
This VEAT notice refers to the extension of the contracts awarded under the contract award notice 2020/S 002-047826. The energy market has experienced a long period of extreme prevailing market conditions which have now begun to improve slightly. The current portfolio contracts are however still particularly advantageous in comparison to the current market. Re-tendering would likely significantly increase costs, risk service and also risk supplier stability; therefore, the decision has been taken to extend the current contracts by 12 months.
It is intended that a procurement process will be carried out to put new arrangements in place during the extension period.
The contracts will be extended by 12 months from 15th December 2023.
- Review procedure
A 10 day standstill period will take place following the publication of this notice. The last day of the standstill period will be 17th November 2023. The earliest the contracts will be awarded is 18th November 2023.
