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:
Previous tenders for cabinet installations in 2021 did not yield any alternative suppliers and Monmouth Scientific remains the only company, to our knowledge, who are capable of a whole project approach. Other companies are able to provide the cabinets only but are not able to complete the other necessary works needed to both safely remove existing cabinets and prepare the rooms for the new cabinets thereby necessitating sub-contracting the remaining elements to other companies which has the potential to cause significant disruption to the process and ultimately service provision.
As such, there are no identified alternative suppliers who can complete all of the following elements as one project:
-Provide MSCs
-Decontaminate existing Class 1 cabinets
-Dispose of existing Class 1 cabinets
-Dispose of HEPA filters
-Install ducting through to roof
-Deliver, install and commission MSCs
