Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to open procedure
  • The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development

Explanation:

Leidos Supply Ltd will be looking to award a framework to Hobsons & Sons (London) Ltd, under Regulation 32(2)(A) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, which allows for the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication “where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests;”

The reason for this decision is because Hobson & Sons (London) Ltd items are currently used by the customer and have been approved for use. Awarding a 21 month framework will provide supply continuity to the end user, whilst this framework is in place Team Leidos will re-engage with the market.
