Legal Justification

The initial competition for this requirement was stood down on 20 March 2020 due to the current Covid-19 outbreak, whilst the contracting authority responded to the Covid-19 outbreak immediately; it was unable to conclude subsequent competition advertised in July 2020 and closed in August 2020. The time required to run a competition using the open procedure could result in a gap in service creating an intolerable risk to our customers. This contract is vital to address essential statutory requirements of the contracting authority which, directly and indirectly, impact the health, safety, mental and physical well being of our customers, including those whom may be vulnerable or at risk given the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. The Contracting Authority therefore needs to urgently procure this contract and therefore intends to undertake a new procurement competition for these services using the accelerated open procedure.
