Procurement Information
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive Explanation: The Council relies on the ground provided in Article 32(2)(b)(iii) of Directive 2014/24/EU and Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as this contract concerns assets which are subject to exclusive rights. Reef Estates Limited (or a group company) have an option over part of the land whereupon the development will take place. Accordingly, the agreement between the Council and Reef Estates (or a group company) cannot be entered into with anyone else. The rights held by Reef Estates Limited/R Blue Regen GL Limited are exclusive in nature. The Council would not be entering into an agreement to undertake this development but for the opportunity brought to it by R Blue Regen GL Limited / Reef Estates Limited. For the avoidance of doubt, those aspects of the joint endeavour that the Council considers are properly subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 will be subject to public procurement.
