Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description

Justification:
The ITT process has followed the accelerated procedure to allow the framework to be concluded during mid-September 2016 so trading can commence by the 1.10.2016.

Following the standard open procedure timeline referenced in Regulation 27 (2) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102 (PCR 2015) would not allow trading to commence by the 1.10.2016.
