Legal Justification

It is the intention of WMGC Ltd to directly award Commonwealth Enterprise & Investment Council the contract due to the nature of the service required and in line with principles set in PPN01/20 where direct award is permissible due absence of competition and protection of exclusive rights under Regulation 32 (2) of the PCR which allows for sole supplier sourcing through use of a negotiated procedure without prior publication to be used and this request also falls within Regulation 32 (5) delivery of services by an existing supplier to where competition is absent due to technical reasons. Furthermore, there is protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights where there is no reasonable alternative or substitutes that exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. In the case of this procurement competition is absent and only one supplier can provide the expertise required to produce the product or has capacity to complete on the scale required.
