Procedure type

Description of how these justifications apply

The Contractor has detailed knowledge of the landfill design, landfill operation and history, and the surrounding geology which is critical in delivery of the services required. Geotech are the only supplier that would be able to deliver the wide range of elements required for this contract in the timescale required. Given the urgency of the works required to prevent harm to the surrounding environment, it is vital that these works are carried out as soon as possible by a contractor with the required skills, knowledge and experience to do so.

This justification is where the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure because the goods, services or works are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency. The urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the contracting authority, and could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority.
