ANNEX D

1. Justification for the choice of the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition in accordance with Article 32 of Directive 2014/24/EU

No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to: Not Provided



The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons

Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

Additional deliveries by the original supplier ordered under the strict conditions stated in the directive: No

New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive: No






3. Explanation
The facility is looking for Structural Steelwork for the construction of the new underground laboratory at Boulby Mine. The chosen supplier has a high level of understanding of local operational and health and safety systems and there are no other companies in the UK or beyond that have such experience and familiarity. To bring in and take on a new company to do this work would bring unacceptable risk to the site in terms of operational impact and safety.
