Notice Information
Notice Title
Contract Details Notice for the Design of an operational flood warning system for CVL
Notice Description
Contract details notice for Design of an operational flood warning system for the Core Valley Lines (CVL) .
Procurement Information
The proposed works constitute a continuation and completion of an existing programme of works, and Awarding the remaining phases to a different supplier would result in disproportionate technical, operational, and financial risk, and would be not genuinely competitive. The direct award is justified under Schedule 5, paragraph 6 permitting a direct award where competition is absent for technical or practical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Cardiff University were previously appointed to undertake the Pilot and phase 1 of the works and the remaining phases (Phase 2+]) are technically and operationally dependent on Phase 1 outputs, methodologies, and project knowledge developed by the incumbent supplier
