Buyer: Department of Health and Social Care

Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Negotiated without a prior call for competition
CPV classification: 33140000: Medical consumables
Estimated value: 325500 GBP
Award criteria: Lowest price

Technical requirements: The Government must protect the health and well-being of UK citizens. The Covid-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised Covid-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Covid-19 is serious and its consequences pose a risk to life. Cabinet Office published PPN 01/20: Responding to Covid-19 on procuring with extreme urgency in March 2020 which states that contracting authorities may enter into contracts without competing or advertising the requirement where certain tests are met.
1) There are genuine reasons for extreme urgency: DHSC are responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
2) The events that have led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: as the Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’ (Commissioner Breton, Internal Market, 1 April 2020).
3) It is impossible to comply with the usual timescales in the PCR It is not possible to comply with the timescales of another procedure due to the urgent requirement to obtain the Saline Filled Tubes being contracted for so as to ensure continuity of supply. Additionally, there are many buyers competing for the same supplies. It is imperative that security of supply is maintained. Demand for products is high and there is little or no incentive for suppliers to participate in competitive procurement procedures.
4) The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority – DHSC has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.

Technical requirements: A physical wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity in internal and external public spaces, with user interfaces, platforms, and authentication services that enable safe and secure public access to the Internet.
The core objective of this procurement is to establish a contract between AWC and a suitable supplier to deliver Citizen Wi-Fi in the Adur and Worthing area, within the stated AWC contract value. In addition to the main objective, AWC intends, through this procurement, to enable other local authorities in Sussex to adopt Citizen Wi-Fi at a later date by entering into their own contract with the supplier on the same or substantially the same contract terms. The authorities listed below have expressed particular interest to AWC:
The duration of the contract with AWC shall be for an initial period of (5) years. The option shall exist to extend the contract for up to a further (2) year period by agreement between AWC and the supplier, subject to Council Authority and budget, up to a maximum contract term of (7) years. The value of the contract associated with Adur and Worthing Councils’ service is estimated at GBP 1.04 million, comprised of capital investment in hardware, software, configuration, implementation, and revenue costs associated with running the service over a maximum period of 7 years. To support the option for other bodies to participate, and to allow for further platform development and coverage expansion of the AWC Citizen Wi-Fi service into more zones, a higher potential contract value of GBP 10 million applies. However, it should be noted that the ‘secured’ budget allocated at this stage is GBP 1.04 million and that the initial contract, as a result of this procurement, will not exceed the secured budget.
