The Authority then invoked the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and entered into discussions with the sole tenderer in order to establish if the tenderer possesses the required level of experience to be able to provide the services as requested. Anderson Spratt Group Ltd resubmitted their tender to include information demonstrating their relevant experience resulting in an acceptable proposal and this formed the basis for awarding this contract.
