Legal Justification

Guinness Developments Limited ("GDL") considers that in this case the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication is justified on the basis of: Regulation 32(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 - single supplier - technical reasons The direct award without prior publication justification applies because: (a) the Supplier is prepared to sell the land only as part of arrangements that also include its development. (b) GDL and the North East Derbyshire District Council have significant unmet need in the locality of the development, evidenced through long housing waiting lists. (c) There is no other land on the market which is available for social housing development within reasonable timeframes local to the unmet need for development.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** Guinness has formed the view that as the negotiations with the supplier were in progress for a substantial period of time prior to the 'go-live' date of the Procurement Act 2023, it is covered by the transition arrangements under PA23. This contract award is therefore being treated as subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015, rather than PA23.
