Description of how these justifications apply

35. This justification is where the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure because the goods, services or works are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency. The urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the contracting authority, and could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority. 36. The concept of ‘unavoidable’ urgency would not apply if the contracting authority had simply not allowed sufficient time to undertake a re-procurement of a contract. It may, however, apply, for example, where contamination is unexpectedly discovered on a site the contracting authority is providing to the successful supplier as part of a procurement and this needs to be removed immediately in order to prevent delay to the overall delivery.
