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:
Single Source Agreement (SSA) approved due to IPR and the supplier being the only known manufacturer of the devices.
The only other option for this type of equipment is a company called Walker Safety. However, this company only produces fixed installations, which are not compatible with the Thames Valley Police custody estate. To enter into the fixed installation option would require significant investment and structural works to Custody locations. Therefore, Drugloo are the only viable supplier
manufacturing the suitable type of product.
Having approached the market recently, The Home Office confirmed there are no other suppliers of the mobile type toilet only the aforementioned fixed installation and have indicated that they refer buyers on to Drugloo. Other UK Police Forces use Drugloos or refer their detainees to a hospital setting depending on their individual Force strategy and risk assessments at the time.
