Procurement Information

The contract was awarded without prior publication because it was a direct call-off from the ESPO MSTAR4 Framework Agreement, which was itself procured in full compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Framework agreements allow contracting authorities to award call-off contracts without issuing a new contract notice, provided the call-off follows the framework's terms. In this case, the requirement falls entirely within the scope of MSTAR4 and the prescribed call-off procedure was correctly applied. As the necessary competition occurred when the framework was tendered, a separate advertisement in the Official Journal of the European Union or the Find a Tender Service is not required.
