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
- Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority
Explanation:
This DAC is specifically for a 12-month supply of the S-3V FFP3 facemask. The S-3V mask is designed specifically for those with smaller faces, which do not fit the other available FFP3 masks. The Alpha Solway S-3V FFP3 mask is therefore required for a small number of staff across the region who do not have a suitable fit test result for other masks which are available, as they do not fit well to smaller faces.
The extreme urgency of the required supply and the need to ensure technical compatibility means that the timescales of available procurement options cannot be complied with to address the urgent shortage of supply given the health risks to staff and general public of inability to make available appropriate PPE.
A total duration of up to12 months is required to account for potentially extended disruption to the normal supply chain due to circumstances unforeseeable by the contracting authority. Measures will be taken by BSO to minimise the value of the DAC and resume normal purchasing through a compliant route once stock becomes available nationally.
