Legal Justification

Under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 33(c) - for reasons of extreme urgency: Due to COVID-19 staff were diverted to assist with key projects responding to the pandemic. A PIN due to be issued in April 2020 and was postponed and stakeholder engagement was unable to take place as planned in Summer 2020 with the user base and interested suppliers.

Other Information

Due to COVID-19 staff were diverted to assist in other projects related to the response to the pandemic. This meant that procurement timetables to retender the service were no longer achievable and we were unable to consult properly with the user base or interested suppliers. The Scottish Government has issued a Prior Information Notice regarding the retender of this contract. https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB40... We intend to consult widely with the market and interested stakeholders to help inform the development of our future requirements. (SC Ref:649423)
