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
SE carried out an Open Tender process (6925-2021 (2021/S 000-006925)) earlier in the year, advertised for a 5-week period between between 2/4/2021 and 11/5/2021. There were a limited number of expressions of interest noted for this and one response was submitted. This however this did not adequately address the points of our ITT. We were unable to evaluate the response and therefore had to disqualify the bid on the grounds on non-compliance. On the basis therefore of there being no compliant bids for the tender following a FTS tender process in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 we have chosen to appoint a supplier through the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.
