Procurement Information
The works can only be provided by a particular economic operator for the following reason: protection of exclusive rights under Regulation 32 (2) (b) (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contracting authority was approached by Peel L&P Environmental Holdings Limited, ("Peel") regarding the freehold sale of the land at Gibfield, a site west of North Road, Atherton, Manchester, a site which was within Peel's ownership and which it wished to transfer to the contracting authority for the development of 113 homes ("the Site"). Peel required the purchaser of the Site to appoint Northstone to carry out the development of the site. Peel and Northstone are part of the same group and have the same persons with significant control. Accordingly, it was a condition of the sale of land agreement between Peel and the contracting authority, that the development works at the Site would be undertaken by Northstone. An extract of the clause included in the sale of land agreement is at section VI.3 for transparency. Under Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, the contracting authority considered that the works could be supplied by only one economic operator, Northstone, as it held exclusive rights in relation to the development by virtue of its relationship with the land owner and as a condition of the sale of the Site that the contracting authority appointed Northstone to carry out the works. In accordance with Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii), the contracting authority considered that no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. There was no reasonable alternative to route to purchase the Site without it being a condition of sale for the contracting authority to appoint Northstone to undertake the development works. Peel held exclusive rights over the Site as the Site owner and therefore imposed conditions relating to the sale requiring the appointment of Northstone to carry out the development works at the Site. Peel was not willing to sell the Site to the contracting authority without this condition. The contracting authority considered that it would not be given the opportunity to purchase the Site without this condition of sale and the requirement to appoint Northstone as the developer to carry out the works. The contracting authority considered that there were no alternative viable sites for this development. The contracting authority further considered that the absence of competition in this case was not a result of artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement by the contracting authority. This opportunity was presented to it by Peel and Northstone and the structure of the transaction and the design of the development at the Site was already determined by them at the time the opportunity was presented to the contracting authority.
