Legal Justification
Following a competitive process in early 2022, a contract was awarded to Balloo Hire Centres who were the only tenderer. They have been operating as the Council's contractor from award of the contract. Due to the unforeseeable death of the Queen and subsequent coronation of King Charles, the scope and scale of the contract required expansion to accommodate the necessary public events associated with the change and thereby necessitated additional infrastructure to hold such events. This has created an increase in the value of the contract that was unforeseeable at the time of tender. In addition, and as demonstrated in the competitive tender process, Balloo Hire Centres are the only company in Northern Ireland capable of providing the breadth of infrastructure necessary for events. A new procurement process will be initiated in early 2024. This contract will only be in place until a new contract can be established through a competitive procurement process.
