Procurement Information

This contract has been awarded under Reg 32 on the grounds of: "insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with." Extreme urgency was required due to the necessity to appoint a new supplier and to give the new supplier time to acquire equipment needed for the contract. Carrying out a competitive procedure would not have given a new supplier the time to have equipment in place for the commencement of the service.
