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:
Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
Regulation 72 (b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor:
(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement.
(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract.
1) Considerable cost of DFID staff time spent on running and managing a new procurement process (9 months) in addition to managing the last year of the programme with the existing partner;
2) This could cause disruption to the reform efforts by the existing partner and other key stakeholders;
3) There are reputational and delivery risks which could potentially damage the relationship DFID has with the Ministry of Education and other key partners already involved in the programme;
4) A significant time would be used by new service provider to build relationships with key stakeholders in the education sector. This has the potential to delay delivery of programme activities especially within the first year of implementation for the new partner;
5) Duplication of inception costs.
