It will provide support to SMEs as they move through the Recovery phase. Due to the immediate issues faced by businesses, any delay would jeopardise the effectiveness of this response at a national and regional level and impact the North East's ability to respond to economic emergencies. This does not give TVCA sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. TVCA considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, TVCA is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation 27(5) for the open procedure) in respect of this procurement."
