Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Form 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:
This training is essential to organisational service delivery and is a statutory duty. In this instance, changing to a new system would have significant practical, resource and cost of change implications. Training of approximately 500 facilitators to undertake the delivery of required learning, in a single year, brings risks to staff and client safety whilst maintaining "business as usual". For these reasons, there are no financially, administratively reasonable or viable alternatives available.
