Annex D1 - General Procurement
Justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union
Directive 2014/24/EU

1. Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU

   No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to: Not provided

   
   
   The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: Not Provided
   
   Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: Yes
   
   Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

   New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

   Service contract to be awarded to the winner or one of winners under the rules of a design contest: No

   

   Purchase of supplies or services on particularly advantageous terms: Not Provided



3. Explanation

   Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union is
   lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive: (500 words maximum)
   The award is strictly necessary and extremely urgent in order for the contracting authority to submit a planning application for the scheme in February 2018. February 2018 is set to allow time for the local authority to validate and register the planning application in advance of the elections. It is necessary for an architect to be appointed. The pre-application discussions with the local authority must start immediately in order to achieve the deadline of February 2018, therefore the contract must be awarded urgently to allow the scheme to develop within the necessary time frame. There is already a considerable amount of political uncertainty surrounding the delivery of the scheme due to the snap election and result in June 2017 which was not foreseeable by or attributable to the contracting authority. The reduction in the Conservative Government's majority means that the approach to the delivery of Brexit is unclear. This has implications for the housing and office market within London. If the deadline of February 2018 is not achieved the scheme will be exposed to additional uncertainty due to the local elections in May 2018 which could mean the scheme may not be achieved at all. This would cause losses to the contracting authority and those it has already contracted with in relation to the scheme.
