Why no open competition
No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to open procedure
Published justification

Despite best efforts and additional methods SFRS only received 5 bids in response to the open tender exercise. One of these was late and was rejected, two were non-compliant and two were compliant.

Unfortunately only 6 lots out of the 26 original lots were covered by the 2 compliant bids.

SFRS still requires these areas to be covered by at least one supplier.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The SFRS will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill at the point information on the contract award is communicated to tenderers. The SFRS is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sherriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the SFRS, they suffer or risk suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the SFRS must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of: or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations.

Publisher note: In line with paragraph 7 of regulation 91 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, the contract award will be made no earlier than 10 days after the publication of this voluntary ex ante transparency notice. This contract will be used as and when required with no commitment by SFRS to place any orders with any suppliers or to purchase any minimum quantity of vehicles. Multiple suppliers may be used across areas to provide resilience hence the five areas that have an additional lot associated. The overall value is not a guarantee of spend. (SC Ref:832735)
