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:

Due to a current and ongoing restructure, AHDB do not have the figures of the required number of devices moving forward, and therefore from a commercial and financial standing point, it would be imprudent for AHDB to be locked into a contract longer than 12 months. During this time, a mini competition will be put together, the outcome of the ballots in Spring will determine on numbers which can therefore be written into the new scope of requirements. Therefore, AHDB will take out a years extension with the current incumbent to carry us through this period with the understanding that after this date AHDB will go out for further competition.
