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:
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
The award of the contract is justifiable under 32 (2) (c) of the Public Contract Regulation as per below:
32 (2) (c) insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with.
It is essential that Highways England has a solution in place in readiness for Brexit on 31 December 2020. Failure to have a solution in place by this date would result in serious disruption on the M20 and a significant economic impact to the UK.
Due to the fixed deadline, it is not considered feasible within the timescales for Highways England to run an OJEU competition, complete mobilisation and deliver the required works to enable readiness for Brexit.
