Esboniad
The Government has set out the increase of Covid-19 testing capacity as a cornerstone of its strategy to combat rising rates of infection, suppressing community transmission, savings lives and ultimately supporting societal and economic recovery. Successful validation of an initial range of newly developed Covid-19 lateral flow test kits was completed by the DHSC in September, allowing for orders to be placed to secure a sustainable supply of significant volumes of these products, as a fundamental enabler of the expansion of the testing programme. The supply of these new test kits is currently limited in the face of very high global demand and consequently it was necessary to contract for supply on an ex-works basis for product manufactured in China in order to secure the required quantity of product and prevent gazumping. Where product has be sourced on an ex works basis it is imperative that this product is moved at the earliest opportunity to prevent it being sold to higher bidders. In addition the rising rates of infection in the UK and predicted growth in cases over the coming months, has created an urgent need for these new test kits to support the testing programme in the UK and therefore Air Freight presents the only viable mode for moving product to the UK in time to meet the operational requirements of the testing programme. In light of these factors the contract was awarded to Air Charter Service (ACS) to meet the specific urgent need to transport test kits to the UK, utilising flights from China to UK during December. The short lead time between validating new test kits and needing these kits in the UK to support the national response to a second wave of Covid-19 cases in the UK, justifies the use of direct award under Regulation 32 provision within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Department is content the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
1) Air freight charters was identified as strictly necessary to meet anticipated demand.
2) It is responding to Covid-19 immediately because of public health risks presenting a genuine emergency.
3) The events that led to the need for extreme urgency were unforeseeable: the Commission itself confirmed: ‘The current coronavirus crisis presents an extreme and unforeseeable urgency – precisely for such a situation our European rules enable public buyers to buy within a matter of days, even hours, if necessary.’
4) There was no time to run an accelerated procurement under the open, restricted or competitive procedures with negotiation that would secure services within the required timescales.
5) The situation is not attributable to the contracting authority: It has not done anything to cause or contribute to the need for extreme urgency.
