Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations

Explanation:

The Contracting Authority advertised a procurement process for a design and build works contract on eTendersNI in February 2021.

The advertised estimated value of the contract was £4.5m which was below the threshold that applied at that time, therefore a contract notice was not published for this opportunity. The Contracting Authority received one response at PQQ stage which was successfully pre-qualified for the tender stage of the procurement. The Contracting Authority progressed with the tender stage (which included negotiation) and the ultimate value of the contract to be awarded is £8.2m.

The Contracting Authority are publishing this VEAT notice to inform the market that they are now awarding a contract for which a contract notice was not published (due to the estimated value falling below the threshold) and will publish a "relevant contract award notice" in line with Regulation 93 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
