Legal Justification

The GHD initiative works at a regional, national, and subnational level providing technical assistance through staff based in Jordan and a number other Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries. A contract was awarded in November 2021, following a competitive exercise, to cover the requirement for technical, professional and logistics services. The delivery of key technical activities across the International Health Regulations Strengthening Project in the EMR relies on the provision of logistical and professional services to arrange and coordinate workshops and training sessions as well as the hiring of local staff.For the 2021 tender exercise, GHD/EMPHNET was the only economic operator that submitted tender. This contract expired 31/03/2022. The Contracting Authority has undertaken additional market analysis including desktop exercise to assess the presence of other economic operators in the market. None other than GHD/EMPHNET was identified. This Agreement is therefore being awarded to GHD on the basis that technical services can be supplied only by them as competition is absent for technical reasons. The Contracting Authority has not identified reasonable alternatives or substitute. The absence of competition is not as a result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and the Contracting Authority’s requirements. GHD are the only identified organisation able to deliver the Contracting Authority’s requirements. Their unique expertism and experience and resources within the region places them as the only capable economic operator.During the Agreement period and before exercising the optional extension period, the Contracting Authority will continue to review the market for other economic operators capable of meeting its requirements.
