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:
1 – disruption through the process of establishing new working relationships with the account manager in a new provider
2 – disruption and delay caused by establishing new processes and communications for maintenance/servicing
3 – disruption and delay caused by establishing new relationships with the company as a training provider and familiarisation with their training programmes and content/online portals etc.
4 – disruption and delays caused by setting up new communications channels and procedures between our finance teams and a new company
5 – risk of significant delay to the drone unit acquiring equipment that has been planned as budgeted for in 24/25, which we anticipated actioning now. Any tender process, which may take a number of months will cause a delay in progressing this equipment plan, to the detriment of the service provided by the drone unit.
6 – we also risk moving to a new provider and finding that they are not as good in some or all of these areas and risk receiving a reduced quality of service and relationship. Although I accept that a good relationship with other companies would be possible, we have no dissatisfaction with Heliguy, therefore there is no reason to risk losing this.

The procurement involves the establishment of a framework agreement
four.1.8) Information about the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA)
