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:
The proposed procurement route accounts for the fact that neither the Department nor any other organisation have the levers or capacity to engage with local authorities in such a systematic way ADASS and LGA with a legitimate and credible voice of authority on operational improvement to deliver the two outcomes above. We have engaged with Commercial & Legal colleagues to approve the grounds for single tender action under the PCR Reg.32(2)(b) ‘competition is absent for technical reasons’ because there are no other organisations that can conceivably offer the same expertise and service as LGA and ADASS within the required parameters and timescale.
