- 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
- Published justification
32 (2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:-
(b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:-
(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons,...
but only, in the case of paragraph (ii)..., where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement;" The services are delivered at sites at which LCC holds nomination rights. Both sites are owned and operated by MHA with LCC's access to the sites being through nominations agreements which permit LCC to place people into apartments covered by these services.
The nomination agreements as written see the level of access drop from 100% of the identified apartments to 75% of identified apartments, with the onsite provision covering both the apartments LCC has access to as well as the apartments outside of this access. This is even more pertinent as the 75% nomination rights are abided by moving forward.
Current and future service users will have the choice to opt out of receiving planned care from the on-site provider delivering care at each scheme. Applying unfettered choice and control to the onsite 24/7 staffing is impractical and not viable but is also not funded by LCC.
At both schemes the existing tenants have opted to receive any planned care and support from MHA as the on-site provider as part of their ability to utilise their personal choice in respect of their care and support provider. This approach will ensure MHA remain a care provider option as a part of that choice.
No conflict of interests were identified throughout the process.
- Review procedure
The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderer. This period allows public to seek further information from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into.
Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen).
Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a 10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.
