Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below

  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations

Explanation:

This is an ambitious project to provide an entire re-programme and reconfiguration of the Trust's entire fire detection and alarm system consisting of 91 Gent Vigilon panels, in a live environment within 18 months. These services will utilise a consultancy (Swithland Systems LLP) that have an uncommon skillset associated with the management of large, complex fire detection and alarm system configuration with experience in live healthcare environments. Given that the services involve a reprogramming of the entire fire detection and alarm system and by necessity requires consistency of approach and allocation of system resources, the project cannot readily be divided into smaller packages, or shared amongst several parties. Against this backdrop, and based upon the advice of the Trust's independent consultant Fire Authorising Engineer, the Trust believes Swithland Systems LLP to be the only company with the necessary skills and expertise capable of providing these specialist consultancy services within the required timescales.
