- Published justification
Following tender evaluation, LSL determined no suitable tenders were received in response to an Open Procedure tender. LSL considers that Schneider Boots Ltd submitted the only response capable of forming the basis for negotiation, as the subsequent contract will not substantially modify the requirements or initial conditions of the Open Procedure tender.
LSL considers Schneider Boots Ltd to be the only supplier capable of delivering the specified product(s) in line with all technical requirements.
LSL will therefore initiate negotiations with Schneider Boots Ltd with the intention to establish a framework agreement. The proposed framework will be in place for a duration of 6 years, with an estimated total value between £512,000 - £1,280,000.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Direct Award condition under Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023 due to no suitable tenders being submitted in response to a competitive tendering procedure.
