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:
A contract notice (2015/S 174-316728) was published by Network in respect of contracts covering services for the repair and maintenance of electrical building installations in Greater London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and other geographical areas within which Network may manage housing stock. The contracts to be awarded are consistent with this because they cover the same services over the same geographical area as envisaged in the Contract Notice, albeit the split of work between the 2 providers will be on the basis of geographical region rather than property type. Whilst the Contract Notice referred to the contracts being awarded on the basis of property type (i.e. communal or domestic) as opposed to geographical location, the increase in the scope of each contract to be awarded (i.e. to cover both communal and domestic properties) and the corresponding reduction in geographical location of each contract would not have affected the outcome of the procurement and as such Network does not consider this to be a substantial/material change or 1 that distorts competition. Further, the values of the contracts have increased from the range advertised of 7 520 000 GBP and 8 950 000 GBP to a total value of approximately 13 000 000 GBP but Network similarly considers that this change would not have attracted different operators or affected the outcome of the procurement and therefore there is no distortion of competition. As such, Network considers that the opportunity has already been advertised and there is no requirement to publish a new contract notice.
