The normal tender process to be undertaken for this procurement would not give Caerphilly County Borough Council sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales and therefore the Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, Caerphilly CBC 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."
