The estimated\nvalue of the contract is \u00a3750,000 excluding VAT (\u00a3900,000 including VAT). CMCA are not\nan excludable supplier and are not on the Debarment list.\nThe requirement was previously competed in 2024 under Public Contract Regulations\n2015 with no compliant tenders. The same requirement was again competed under the\nProcurement Act 2023 (PA23) in 2025 with no tender responses.\nThe Authority has decided to switch the process from an Open Competition to a Direct\nAward Contract, due to no tenders being submitted, under Chapter 3, Paragraph 43(1) of\nthe Procurement Act 2023, which states:-\n43(1) A contracting authority may award a public contract directly to a supplier that is not\nan excluded supplier ifa)\nthe authority has invited suppliers to submit tenders as part of, or requests to\nparticipate in, a competitive tendering procedure in respect of the contract,\nb) it has not received any suitable tenders or requests in response, and\nc) it considers that award under section 19 is not possible in the circumstances.\nThe Authority has conducted thorough due diligence on potential suppliers to meet the\nrequirement and has determined that the aforementioned supplier is both suitable and\ncompliant. The process undertaken involved a review of questionnaire responses\nfollowing the second unsuccessful tender. Subsequently, the internal project team\nreached a consensus to approach three suppliers directly.\nAs part of this internal process to identify the most appropriate suppliers capable of\nproviding the majority of the required equipment, only one supplier responded to the\nrequest. CMCA has confirmed their ability to supply a portion of the required items and\nhas expressed their willingness to collaborate with the Authority to fulfil the contractual\nrequirements.",
