Section VI: Complementary information

VI.3) Additional information

Swansea University is awarding this contract to Blyth Catamarans Ltd due to the originally procured contractor going into administration in January 2018.

Under PCR 2015 Reg 32, competition is absent for technical reasons since these services can be supplied only by Blyth Catamarans Ltd due to:

a. the vessel is not yet water-proofed and would require a crane transfer and floatation on a larger vessel in order to be moved by sea to an alternative boatyard.

b. the 18M vessel would require specialist haulage carriers and road closures in order to be moved by road to an alternative boatyard.

Either transport option would significantly add to the overall cost of the build process and due to the extreme measures required to carry out either logistics, they would risk catastrophic damage to the vessel in its current partially built state.

On publication of this VEAT notice, Swansea University will undertake a standstill period of 10 calendar days prior to awarding any contract. Please contact Swansea University Procurement team for further information.
