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
Scottish Enterprise wishes to extend the current contract for a short period prior to re-tender to ensure that knowledge and expertise built up over the 4 years of the current contract will not be lost and that work required by the end of this financial year can be completed on time. It is also considered that the cost involved in bringing a new supplier on board at this time would be disproportionately high. It is intended that a new contract to run from 1.4.2020 will be tendered in due course.
