Why no open competition

The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive; The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons; Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive

Published justification

(1) Removal/Reinstallation & Commissioning of Existing Equipment

Allowing a supplier other than the original supplier to remove, transport and reinstall the

existing equipment from the Jordanstown Campus to the Magee campus would result in

technical difficulties in operation and maintenance of the equipment.

(2) Purchase of Additional Equipment

Regulation 32(5)(b) allows for the extension of the existing Carestream equipment. By

purchasing the equipment via Medray, this will allow the University to achieve its teaching

objectives of providing a clinical environment for training radiography students in line with an

NHS environment. The additional equipment will run parallel to the existing equipment,

sharing the same instrument control, data processing and archiving software packaging,

thereby ensuring complete compatibility across the radiography suite

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The University incorporated a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on award of the contract was communicated to all tenderers. The standstill period provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (Northern Ireland).

Publisher note: The University shall instruct a mandatory 10 standstill period commencing on Friday 15 April 2022 ending on Midnight on Wednesday 27 April 2022 and will not enter into a contract until after this standstill period finishes.
