- Why no open competition
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic homelessness services had to be delivered differently. Liverpool City Council needed to respond at speed to ensure that anyone at risk of rough sleeping was prioritised for placement into a range of newly resourced emergency accommodation options driven by the national governments ‘Everyone In’ initiative and to comply with public safety measures introduced as part of the country entering into "lockdown" arrangements.
These alternative arrangements had to made urgently and there was insufficient time to run an accelerated procurement under the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation. The scale of change and emergency nature was brought about by unforeseeable events.
