The ITT procurement process will be run as a pseudo open tender procurement process, accordingly neither the inclusion of a Bidder at ‘selection stage’ nor the use of the term ‘ITT’ to mean ‘Invitation to Tender’, nor any other indication shall be taken to mean that the Authority intends to hold themselves bound by any of the Regulations save those applicable to the Light Touch Regime when running the pseudo open ITT process.
Although the Contracting Authority intends the pseudo open tender process to follow a process similar to an open tender procedure in certain respects, for the avoidance of doubt the Contracting Authority is not running the process as though the open tender procedure applies, and so reserves the right to depart from that procedure at any point. Where the Contracting Authority voluntarily refers to provisions of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament of the Council or the Regulations, it intends to follow those provisions in spirit rather than to the letter.
