two.2.14) Additional information
The Contracting Authority advertised this 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 and negotiations - Although advertised as restricted, the tender documentation expressly stated that the procurement route would be competitive with negotiation Regulation 29. This cannot be amended for the contract award notice as the information is pre-populated from tender stage. The ultimate value of the contract awarded is £8.2m. The Contracting Authority has published a VEAT notice to inform the market or the procedure used and 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 are publishing this "relevant contract award notice" in line with Regulation 93 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended.
