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:
On 31st March 2022 YPO published Prior Information Notice (Notice Reference: 2022/S 000-008723) for the Supply of Exercise Books and Paper, the aim of which was to engage with and find potential providers. In response to the PIN notice YPO were in communication with several suppliers about this opportunity. All but one provider decided they could not meet the requirements. After extensive engagement with customers, as well as paper and exercise books providers, both within the UK and overseas market, YPO did not identify suitable suppliers, apart from one, who could meet YPO's technical specification and delivery requirements, specifically volumes with peak periods, turnaround and lead times. Therefore, YPO would like to award this framework through Regulation 32 in Public Contract Regulations 2015 on the grounds that:
"32 (b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic
operator for any of the following reasons:—
(ii) competition is absent for technical reasons"
