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 works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation
The Contracting Authorities previously issued a voluntary ex-ante transparency notice on 19.3.2019 confirming that the Contracting Authorities consider that they are entitled to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication and award the lawfully permitted contracts in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) and 32(2)(c) of the PCR in these circumstances on the basis that:
— the need for the award of the contracts has arisen for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authorities. the contracting authorities must safeguard continuity of provision of Dynamic Pressure Area Care equipment, which and is essential to support patients and the health system as a whole in Essex, and a high quality and safe service for all eligible patients from 1.4.2019,
— given the time available, only the incumbent provider is technically able to deliver the services from 1.4.2019, specifically in light of the unacceptable risk of insufficient time to complete a robust contract mobilisation involving critical mobilisation and transition risks including workforce and a significant ‘swap out’ of some 7 000 existing items of stock in the community, equating to approximately 3 500 patients which is estimated to require between 6-9 months to implement in a robust and safe manner. In the absence a longer transition period, no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Given the above reasons, Contracting Authorities deem that the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive with negotiated procedure cannot be complied with.
