The Council is leading on regeneration programmes and has awarded a public works contract (by way of a land swap agreement and conditional development agreement) under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for the development of a Life Sciences centre in Stevenage. The public works contract will include specific development works and the construction of a new MSCP. The Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication is being followed and is justified under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii). The public works contract (comprising a land swap agreement and conditional development agreement) has been awarded to Forge Life Sciences No. 2 Nominee 1 Ltd and Forge Life Sciences No. 2 Nominee 2 Ltd (the Developers) and Forge Life Sciences No. 2 GP Ltd under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons. The Council considers that the development works can only be supplied by a particular economic operator due to the technical impracticalities associated with the construction of the MSCP, the complexity of sequencing the development works and significant health and safety risks posed. In addition, the MSCP works will involve specialist, technical re-construction and integration of an existing ramp which will also adversely impact upon neighbouring land which is owned by one of the Developers. There are no reasonable alternative or substitute development sites within the area that will meet the delivery timescales.
