The Authority must be in a position to treat the population as required in the event of the Covid-19 outbreak escalating suddenly. Due to the unpredictability of the virus, the Authority does not have sufficient time to comply with the standard Open Procedure time scales for this procurement. The Authority considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, the Authority is using accelerated time limits as permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Regulation 27(5) for the Open Procedure) in respect of this procurement."
