Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Open procedure
Accelerated procedure
Justification:
This procurement procedure is an accelerated open procedure as there is urgency in
publicity of this tender. This is because we first initially failed to publish this on Contracts
Finder as well. Therefore, we had to re-tender this work package and if we were to go through
the standard procedure, it will lead to loss of finance due to interest cost on the site and on
costs associated with the building site set up. In addition to the grant programme has a
number of grant milestones that the additional delay would put at a risk the spending of the
EU public funding.
