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


2. Other justification for the award of the contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union

   The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive: Yes

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)
   BEIS has previously had a subscription to BVA BDRC’s Landlord Panel Survey from which the data has directly informed trend analysis conducted as part of a wider evaluation project. Whilst the original subscription has come to an end, the wider evaluation project is still ongoing and requires the continued input of Landlord Panel Survey data to continue the trend analysis and sufficiently address its evaluation questions.

Given that BEIS requires consistency in the sampling frame and population to observe trends over time, BVA BDRC are the only economic operator who can provide all the required data to ensure the continuation of this trend analysis in an analytically robust manner by providing the same data that has been used for the analysis thus far.

Furthermore, BVA BDRC are the only contractor who can provide a subscription to a quarterly survey of both a ‘Core’ and ‘Small’ panel of landlords, with the opportunity for BEIS to include bespoke questions. This means that BEIS is able to collect essential data for the wider evaluation without adding an additional research burden on landlords as the surveys will go ahead regardless of BEIS’ subscription.
