Section IV: Procedure

IV.1.
Description
IV.1.1.
Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below
  • Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
Explanation:
Negotiated procedure without prior publication
1) The Covid-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
2) DHSC is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met.
A. As far as is strictly necessary: the lateral flow tests were identified as strictly necessary to meet the demand to scale up the mass testing programme in the UK. It is critical to detect Covid-19 infection to contain C-19 and support the population.
B. There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: there is a surge in global demand for lateral flow tests. DHSC is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
C. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: the timing of availability of new Covid-19 lateral flow test technology meeting the relevant UK technical requirements coupled with high international demand and limited global capacity was not foreseeable.
D. It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR: it is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to ensure the delivery of the lateral flow tests for distribution across the UK.
E. The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority — DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.
