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 Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication is being followed and is justified under Regulation 32 (2) (c) for the award of a public works contracts

Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive.

The Council is seeking to make a direct award to Wates to respond to the Housing crisis and provide urgently required temporary accommodation. This ground applies “insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with”.

The urgent nature of the current housing crisis and the fact that no public authority could have foreseen the range of pressures currently being faced that have resulted in a sever lack of suitable temporary accommodation, provides the rationale for the Council to place reliance on this regulation.
