Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation:
The UHB will award this contract using the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) in that competition is absent for technical reasons and that there is no reasonable alternative and that the decision to utilise this procedure has not been made in an effort to artificially narrow down the parameters of the procurement.
The technical reasons for contracting with Coastal are:
1. Coastal are the freeholder of the site.
2. Coastal are unwilling to allow a third party to develop the site.
3. The site is occupied by a GP Surgery which cannot be moved elsewhere due to the geographical constraints in its contract with the UHB and patient requirements.
4. It would not be in the best interests of those patients to be decanted to another practice and another GP.
5. Extensive investigation and consultation has revealed that the site is the only location in Swansea capable of being developed to provide a Wellness Centre in this area.
The UHB has carried out an investigation in to the construction of the Wellness Centre. This led it to conclude that no other site was available and that no other contractor develop it due to the freehold ownership of the site and the other reasons given and that it was therefore justified in deciding to use the Negotiated Procedure with Prior Publication.
The UHB has discharged its obligation to act diligently by consultation with:
a. The Welsh Government.
b. The Local Authority.
c. The UHB Board of Directors.
This consultation has also confirmed that the appointment of Coastal is the only reasonable option and that the exercise is not an effort to artificially narrow down the parameters of the procurement.
