(4) the circumstances invoked to justify extreme urgency must not in any event be attributable to the contracting authority. " Derby City Council has duly justified the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication procedure and considers: - the COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for an urgent need to continue to provide the critical service of organic waste processing. - the COVID-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something that could have been predicted, and therefore the urgent need for this service was unforeseeable. - this extreme urgency does not give Derby City Council sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure / restricted procedure / competitive procedure with negotiation timescales for this procurement. - the COVID-19 outbreak to be a state of extreme urgency of which is not attributable to the Contacting Authority. Further justification is supported by guidance issued by the Cabinet Office Procurement Policy Note - Responding to COVID -19 PPN01/20 which stated - "There will be a range of commercial actions that must be considered by contracting authorities in responding to the impact of COVID-19. In such exceptional circumstances, authorities may need to procure goods, services and works with extreme urgency. This is permissible under current public procurement regulations using regulation 32(2)(c)."
