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
The Council needs to respond immediately to the ongoing Covid-19 consequences with council staff for example being diverted from their normal duties. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable and could not have been predicted by a reasonably diligent authority. The present situation is not attributable to the contracting authority in any way and with council staff employed in other capacities it is not possible to comply with the usual timescales in the 2015 Regulations. There is also no known available framework whereby a call off contract under an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system could be undertaken.
