Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated without a prior call for competition
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
In accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons where no reasonable alternative exists. A search on the Environment Agency's website has shown that there are no alternative licensed sites within a reasonable distance of Haverhill. Furthermore, due to the low tonnage involved, it would not be efficient to build and operate a new transfer station in isolation in this area and nor could a different operator provide a cost- effective service.
