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:
Development Management Services for the delivery of a minimum of 93 affordable housing units across 4 Council owned site in LB Merton.
The contract is in the form of a Public Sector Collaboration Agreement pursuant to Regulation 12(7) of the Regulation whereby both the Council and L&Q intend to co-operate to ensure the delivery of public services (in this case the delivery of affordable housing) and that such co-operation is governed solely by consideration in the public interest, namely there is no profit element being derived through this collaboration. The collaboration will deliver the construction of 93 affordable housing units across 4 sites in the London Borough of Merton.
The Council intends to award a contract, subject to a 10 day standstill period, without prior publication of a contract notice.
In compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, all awards of contracts that are subject to European Procurement Directives are subject to a mandatory “standstill” period of at least 10 days. A Contract cannot be entered into with the preferred provider until at least the eleventh calendar day following notification. This would not prevent continuing discussions with the preferred provider to ensure prompt mobilisation. The standstill period is expected to end at midnight at the end of 31st July 2023. If steps are taken during this period to suggest that there may be a formal legal challenge to this award, or the Council determines an issue/concern with the process or preferred submission, then the contract award may be suspended until the matter is resolved (or not concluded if the matter cannot be resolved).
Subject to no legal challenge being received, the Council intends to execute the Contract at the conclusion of the standstill period.
