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 services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
Following the award of the original contract (Contract Award Notice No. MAR408511) there has been an unexpected need for a greater intensity and duration of service. Given the nature of the Inquiry, a continued uninterrupted service and operation is required. The service requirement is time sensitive and must fit with the anticipated programme of the Inquiry. A change of supplier at this stage would disrupt the Inquiry, cause serious operational difficulties and result in cost increases. Reliance on Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) is therefore satisfied in this case.
