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:
The FCDO's current Movement of Personal Effects contract runs from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Authority's re-procurement project was unavoidably delayed.
The Authority is therefore exceptionally concluding a further 12 month extension of the contract up to 31 August 2022.
The Authority's extension was in in line with Public Contract Regulation 72(1)(c). This regulation permits an extension to a contract where:
- The reasons for the extension could not have been reasonably foreseen (or caused) by the Authority;
- The overall nature of the contract remains unchanged.
- The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the original contract value.
All of these criteria have been met.
The Authority has already commenced the re-procurement project for the replacement contract, including supplier engagement sessions in Spring/Summer 2021.
The Authority's new opportunity is advertised at:
https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f613e0a1-cf0e-4f08-a285-3c17b3e17e30
The Authority would be pleased to discuss this extension or the long term re-procurement opportunity with any interested suppliers.
