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: This contract modification is for a time only extension (i.e. no increase required to the current overall contract value of £5,203k). The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) apply considering the overall contract value and previous modifications. On the basis of the information provided there would appear to be convincing reasons to modify this contract due to the current circumstances regarding the transition from one service to the other under the LECN project being progressed by the Home Office. PSNI could not have foreseen such circumstances. It is highly unlikely another contractor could deliver the required services in the interim and the modification doesn’t alter the overall nature or value of the contract.

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The Public Contract Regulations 2015 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). The. authority incorporates a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) before this contract is awarded..
