Procurement Information
Explanation: Regulation 32 (2) of the Public Contracts Regulations permits the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication when certain circumstances are met. One such circumstance is where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests (Regulation 32 (2) (a)). The situation described within Regulation 32 above is comparable to the current situation having attempted to procure a solution via an open procedure but no suitable bids being received.
