Legal Justification

The Cabinet Office considers that the award of this contract is permitted pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR permits the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator because competition is absent for technical reasons, but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The Cabinet Office's view is that the services covered by the contract can be supplied only by KPMG LLP because competition is absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Our view is that no alternative provider could take over the provision of the relevant learning and development services that are required now as there is insufficient time for transition to another provider to take place. This absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.
