Section IV: Procedure
IV.1)Type of procedure
Negotiated without publication of a contract notice / call for competition
Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in the OJEU in accordance with art. 28 of Directive 2009/81/EC
All tenders submitted in reply to an open procedure, a restricted procedure or competitive dialogue were irregular or inacceptable. Only those tenderers were included in the negotiations which have satisfied the qualitative selection criteria: no
The periods for the restricted procedure and the negotiated procedure with prior publication of a contract notice are incompatible with the urgency resulting from a crisis: no
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the relevant Directive: no
The works/goods/services can be provided only by a particular tenderer for reasons that are: technical
The contract concerns research and development services other than those referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2009/81/EC: no
The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the Directive: no
Additional works/deliveries/services are ordered under the strict conditions stated in the Directive: no
For supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market: no
New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive: no
Contract related to the provision of air and maritime transport services for the armed forces of a Member State deployed or to be deployed abroad, under the strict conditions stated in the Directive: no
The Authority intends to award a contract to SERCO Limited for the modification of the MoD T92 Air Defence Radar at Remote Radar Head (RRH) Buchan to enable it to mitigate against interference caused by a windfarm proposed to be built nearby.
It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Negotiated Procedure Without Prior Publication pursuant to Article 28 e of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16 (1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011). This is because the windfarm developer has agreed to fund the mitigation solution for RRH Buchan and require, as a condition of that funding, that (i) a contract is entered into by the end of September 2013 and (ii) SERCO Limited act as prime contractor to manage the project. There are therefore technical reasons why the contract may only be awarded to Serco Limited.
