Legal Justification

At the present time it is technically unviable to switch suppliers without considerable business continuity issues at a time when the agency is faced with considerable pressures generated by a significant backlog of work caused by the Pandemic and industrial action. As a consequence of this situation, the request is to utilise the following: 32 (5) (b) for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance;
