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:
No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to open procedure
Explanation
The original procurement for Surrey Childrens Emotional Well-being and Mental Health (EWMH) was tendered on 8th June using the Light touch Open Tender procurement process only concluded with one bid being received from Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SABP). The bid submitted was deemed not suitable, and after seeking legal advice subsequently used Regulation 32(2)(a) of Public Contract Regulations 2015 to undertake a negotiated process without notice to co-create a viable solution for the EWMH Service. Negotiation was considered an acceptable next step because only one bid was received in response to the original procurement process. It can therefore be conducted under Regulation 32 of the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015 ‘Negotiated Procedure without Prior Notice’. Regulation 32(a) provides that a contracting authority can award a contract by the negotiated procedure without a notice (in effect, a direct award) where ‘no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests’. For the purposes of this regulation ‘a tender shall be considered not to be suitable where it is irrelevant to the contract, being manifestly incapable, without substantial changes, of meeting the contracting authority’s needs and requirements as specified in the procurement documents’.
