Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
Due to the lack of suitable tenders in response to an open procedure procurement, the negotiated procedure without prior publication was used to award this contract. None of the tenders received were fully compliant with the contracting authority's specification. The contracting authority asked tenderers to confirm whether they were able to delivery a fully compliant system. Only one tenderer was able to confirm this. The contracting authority therefore negotiated the contract with that tenderer on the basis of their initial tender, varied to provide a fully compliant solution to the contracting authority's requirements as set out in the original specification. The contract award notice referenced 2017/S 108-217689 and dispatched on 5.6.2017 suggested that this contract was awarded under the original tender procedure commenced by notice 2016/S 230-419184. This is not correct. As a result of the above, the contracting authority discontinued the original restrictive procedure and awarded the contract through the negotiated procedure without advertisement under Regulation 32(2)(a) under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Article 32(2)(a) of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council). This notice also therefore corrects the notice referred 2017/S 108-217689 and dispatched on 5.6.2017.
VI.4) Procedures for review
VI.4.1) Review body
VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) (as amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within 30 days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings has arisen. The Court may extend the time limit for starting proceedings where the court considers that there is a good reason for doing so but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than 3 months after that date. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any documents and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be ‘ineffective’.
