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 Covid-19 international crisis necessitated the provision of significant amounts of PPE for Police Officers and Staff in order for them to continue to police the NW Police Region safely. There was a recognised national shortage of PPE with NHS taking priority and Force contracted suppliers were unable to supply the volumes required within the tight timescales, resulting in the need to source these items from a new supplier who could meet our requirements.
This contract was as a result of an urgent requirement which was brought about by unforeseeable events thus meeting the criteria of Article 32 (2) (c).
