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:
Due to the fact that the vehicles need to be delivered at the same time and be of the same model, the time was of the essence and the vehicles needed to be manufactured and delivered prior to FY23/24 end. As extensive market research showed, Albania Motor was the only supplier in the market which could meet our technical and delivery requirements on time. Running formal tender would have put the delivery of the project to significant risk (due to the delivery, manufacturing, budgetary factors).
