- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for a period of up to 2 years for the provision of seaweed removal from Ventnor Haven on the Isle of Wight using the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis that the management of the Haven was tendered previously with only 1 bidder showing interest. The bidder has invested, designed and manufactured its own specialist plant to dredge, macerate and pump the seaweed from the harbour. It is not deemed cost effective to put this out to tender due to high plant costs combined with the intention that within the 2-year period of this contract, the management and possibly ownership of the harbour will either transfer to a third party or if unsuccessful be advertised for a private operator to take over. Sediment and seaweed at Ventnor Haven has been a serious problem since the Haven was constructed in 2003. Sand and seaweed are continuously carried into the haven in suspension especially during periods of rough weather. Once trapped within the Haven the seaweed breaks down anaerobically producing noxious fumes including hydrogen sulphide based compounds known to be dangerous to health. The sand accumulates within the entrance forming a sand bar which reduces the time-frame that the Haven can be accessed for the local fishing fleet. To combat the problem the supplier has developed a shallow water mini dredger. The authority observed a 10 day standstill period which will expired at midnight on 03/05/2022.
