Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Open procedure
- Accelerated procedure
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. Trading is required to have commenced by this date so that the initial call-off contract(s) issued under the framework are not adversely affected by cost increases that are expected to apply due to entering the winter period. 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.
