Annex D1 - General Procurement

Directive 2014/24/EU

1. Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU

   No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to: Not provided

   The products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive: No
   
   The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
   
   Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No
   
   Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

   

   

   Procurement of supplies quoted and purchased on a commodity market: No

   Purchase of supplies or services on particularly advantageous terms: Not Provided



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)
   We believe the contract extension is appropriate. The university has utilized this admissions system for several years, seamlessly integrated with our Banner student records system and our existing admissions system. The supplier’s solution will enhance workflow efficiency, elevate the student experience, and streamline support for our agents. Moreover, the data embedded in the current platform may not be easily transferable to another system, further supporting the need for continuity and statutory compliance with UK law.
