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 Contracting Authority advertised a procurement process for a design and build works contract on eTendersNI in March 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 contracts awarded was £14,062,782.00 across 2 sites - Duke Street (£11,606,282.00) awarded on 16.02.2022 and Victoria Hall, Spencer Road. (£2,456,500.00) awarded on 08.02.2022

The Contracting Authority is publishing this VEAT notice to inform the market of the procurement process and subsequent contract award.

A notice was not published (due to the estimated value falling below the threshold) and the Association will publish a "relevant contract award notice" in line

with Regulation 93 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
