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:

Covid-19 is serious and its consequences pose a risk to life. Cabinet Office published PPN 01/20: Responding to COVID-19 on procuring with extreme urgency in March 2020 which states that contracting authorities may enter into contracts without competing or advertising the requirement where certain tests are met.

1) There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency as there is a significant public health risk requiring immediate action as a result of Covid-19;

2) The Covid-19 situation is novel and the contracting authority could not have reasonably foreseen these events;

3) It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to obtain the [supplies]being contracted for. Additionally, there are many buyers competing for the same supplies. It is imperative that security of supply is maintained. Demand for equipment is high and there is little or no incentive for suppliers to participate in competitive procurement procedures;

4) The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority.
