Legal Justification

Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is relying on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in making this award without prior publication. Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) permits such an award where competition is absent for technical reasons. In order to maintain the resilience of the East Coast & Hertfordshire Control Room Consortium until the dissolution we are required to extend the WAN network contract to align with the Vision Mobilising system contract. The Council has therefore awarded a contract to Capita. This represents a best value approach to ensure the ongoing service delivery.
