Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services

Explanation:

The Contract is to be modified under Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations such that it will be extended in duration from the 03.09.2024 to 31.03.2025. The purpose of this extension is to enable the continuation of the Service to enable the Authority to undertake the necessary procurement associated with the Bulking (Lot 1) Services following an earlier failed procurement. Without the Bulking Services, the Re-Processing (Lot 2) Services cannot be effective. The requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) are met as follows: The requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) are met as follows: •Necessary additional services not included in the procurement: as set out above the Authority requires the Services to continue to enable the Authority to undertake a further procurement of the Bulking Services, and to effect a smooth and orderly exit from the Contract such that there is no risk to Service continuity overall through this period. •Change of Contractor cannot be made for technical reasons: Thalia has been providing the Services under Contract since the Contract was novated to them in 2022. They have developed significant expertise and knowledge of the Service delivery. Another contractor would not be able to step in and provide the Services without requiring a reasonable period of time to get up to speed. Such a requirement would be disproportionate both to the duration of the extension and the purpose of it.•Change of Contractor cannot be made for economic reasons: Given the purpose of the extension it would not be of economic benefit to the Authority, in managing public money, to be exiting the current Contract and at the same time entering into a comparable arrangement with a new contractor.•Change of Contractor would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of cost: an incoming contractor would have to charge substantial set up costs to establish a new bulking facility which would be a prohibitive cost to the Authority, and there would be insufficient time to get the facility appropriately permitted and licensed by the relevant statutory bodies, and this would require significant resources to support and set up the new collection arrangement which would duplicate costs already incurred, and result in significant inconvenience.•The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract: the value of the modification £1,200,000 is under 50% of the anticipated value as set out in the advertised contract notice and is less than 50% of the original contract as set out in the contract award notice.
