Procurement Information
The Council needs to respond immediately to the ongoing COVID-19 consequences with staff for example being diverted from their normal duties. The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable and could not have been predicted by a reasonably diligent and informed Contracting Authority. The present situation is not attributable to the Contracting Authority in any way and with council staff employed in other capacities it is not possible to comply with the usual timescales in the 2015 Regulations. There is also no known available framework whereby a call off contract under an existing commercial agreement such as a framework or dynamic purchasing system could be undertaken. The Council therefore perceive that the extreme urgency factors within Section 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 have been met and with a duty to ensure that there is service provision for vulnerable persons, it is proposed that a direct award is made for a period of 12 months as the full impact of COVID 19 is unknown in terms of both our own workforce and that of the service provider. This will allow for short break provision to be available within West Lothian for those with a medium to significant learning disability and complex physical / health care needs and allow time for finalisation of the lease and a decision around the purchase of the property prior to undertaking tendering activity.
