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:
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
The authority is of the opinion that the current Covid-19 pandemic constitutes an unforeseeable event which justifies a direct contract award for the provision of PPE on grounds of urgency. The authority recognises that the contractor already supplies similar goods to other customers (and thus has existing supply chains and a familiarity with the product range), has the ability to stock and distribute product across Scotland (as an existing provider of other products to the public sector in Scotland) and so are able to offer the rapid implementation that is required.
