Section 3.5 of PGN 03/11 makes provision for circumstances where a competitive procurement exercise, despite best efforts, results in a situation where no bids or no suitable bids were received in accordance with Regulation 32 (2) (a) which states:
“The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases: (a) where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted in response to an open procedure or a restricted procedure, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered and that a report is sent to the Commission where it so requests”.
Publication of a Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice was not necessary as the award is followed by publication of a Contract Award Notice.
In Section I.2, it is stated that this procurement is a joint procedure and Contract award is by a Central Purchasing Body. This Contract is not a joint Contract, it is a Central Purchasing Body Contract operated by Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service on behalf of the participants listed in I.1. The Contracting Authority will identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender(s) (MEAT) on the basis of the “lowest price / cost” submission(s), once full compliance has been demonstrated with all of the elements of the specification and any other requirements as listed in the Tender Documentation.
