Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: This contract was awarded to the incumbent supplier as it was felt by the University that this was indeed necessary to provide continuity of supply and service to students at Ulster University during the current Covid 19 crisis.
There is a new degree in Paramedics commencing at Ulster University on September 2021 which also requires student uniforms for Paramedics.
The University will tender this service for student uniforms early 2022 so that a contract will be in place when this Direct Award Contract expires on 24th August 2022.

Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The University incorporated a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on award of the contract was communicated to all tenderers. The standstill period provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into. The Public Contracts 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 (Northern Ireland).
