Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated without a prior call for competition
- No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to restricted procedure
- 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:
The P-8A DT require a maintenance and service plan for the in use Rhinowash rig stationed at RAF bases. Given that the Rhinowash equipment is bespoke to the company itself, the service contract will be through the manufacturer as they have expert knowledge of the equipment. In accordance with the low value procurement commercial policy, we are going down the single source route due to the above reasons. Additionally, the DT recognises that any additional value gained through competing this low value requirement is outweighed by the cost, time and effort the competitive process involves.
