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:
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
The global pandemic of Covid-19 has caused extreme pressure on the global supply chain. In response to the emergency a large supply of Cadaver (body) bags are required by healthcare facilities. This abnormally high and immediate demand is resulting in constrained supply in Northern Ireland through the normal compliant supply route. The extreme urgency of the event was unforeseeable by BSO as this item is normally purchased in small quantities by HSC Trusts. this meant that the timescales of available procurement options cannot be complied with to address the urgent shortage of supply and increased demand, given the health risks to staff and the general public of inability to make this product available in the quantities anticipated. The pandemic is too significant and immediate to permit for normal OJEU advertisement procedures to be followed,and the scope and volume of the pandemic and subsequent Cadaver (body) bag requirement was unforeseeable.
