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 a procedure with prior call for competition
Explanation:
Regulation 50 of the 2016 UCR states the following: 'Utilities may use the negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in the following case: (a) Where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable request to participate have been submitted in response to a procedure with a prior call for competition, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered.
A tender was published for a framework of suppliers in March 2021 and there was no response for the area of Cumbria for Joinery, General Building Services, Drain Repair and Carpet fitting / cleaning therefore a direct award is being made to Peter Wall to carry out these essential services.
