Why no open competition

The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive

Published justification

Kent County Council is publishing this Voluntary Transparency Notice (VTN) to inform the market of its intention to, 30 days from the date of this notice (26th February 2025), use Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to modify the framework's value by 50%, increasing it from £15,000,000 to £22,500,000. This modification meets the criteria of Regulation 72(1)(b) and is therefore deemed lawful and in accordance with the directive.

The Council anticipates running a competitive tender exercise within the next 24 months to establish a new contractual arrangement for its drainage requirements. Any future opportunities will be published via the Council's procurement portal and the Central Digital Platform.

Once modified, the total framework value will be £22,500,000; however, work is not guaranteed under the framework. This amount will be awarded across the three framework suppliers accordingly, which is why the awarded values below for each supplier show the full range.

Publisher note: The framework is being procured by the authority for its own use.
