Why no open competition

Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive

Published justification

The contract has been awarded through an existing ESPO framework agreement established following a compliant competitive procurement procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

A direct award was undertaken in accordance with the framework's applicable call-off provisions, without the requirement for a separate competitive tendering exercise or prior publication of a contract notice.

The decision to utilise the framework was informed by the College Group's operational requirements, the need to maintain continuity of essential gas supplies across its estate, and the procurement timescales associated with the renewal of existing supply arrangements.

The framework provides an established procurement route for securing gas supplies, subject to compliance with its terms and conditions. Accordingly, a separate contract notice was not published prior to the call-off award
