Notice Description

Workforce for Mobile Laboratories

Lot Information

Lot 1

An amendment was made to the Contract under Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

Procurement Information

The procurement relied on Regulation 32 of the PCR 2015 and award using the negotiated procedure without a prior call for competition, because : One possible provider (Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) and (iii) The supplies can only be provided by the particular supplier in the case of Mitie because: there is no reasonable alternative or substitute for the supplier in the case of Mitie because the technology determines the build requirements and needs to be an integral part of that process; and the assessment of lack of competition is not as a result of the parameters of the relevant requirements being narrowed to favour the award to a particular supplier only that that that supplier's technology is being tested. Extreme urgency (Reg 32(2)(c)) The requirement is: extremely urgent and strictly necessary because the Workforce for Mobile Laboratories is a critical component of Mass Testing, providing laboratory facility to outbreak response areas, remote locations where laboratory capacity is not available and where an urgent response is required. Mobile lab deployment will reduce transit time for samples to travel to a static lab location therefore reducing test turnaround time. Provision of the Workforce for Mobile Laboratories will provide agile and adaptable choices for policy makers enabling decision and policy choices to support national and local responses; and the events leading to the extreme urgency were not foreseeable by us due to focus on priority given to static labs; and the time limits to carry out one of the competitive procedures under the PCR 2015 cannot be complied with because the need is imminent.
