Section IV: Procedure

IV.1) Description

IV.1.1) Type of procedure

Open procedure - Accelerated procedure

Justification:

This procurement procedure is an accelerated open procedure as there is urgency in

publicity of this tender. This is because we first initially failed to publish this on Contracts

Finder as well. Therefore, we had to re-tender this work package and if we were to go through

the standard procedure, it will lead to loss of finance due to interest cost on the site and on

costs associated with the building site set up. In addition to the grant programme has a

number of grant milestones that the additional delay would put at a risk the spending of the

EU public funding.
