Ground given for limiting competition

The buyer’s own stated reason for awarding without open competition, as published. Their assertion, not a finding.

The contract concerns services subject to the Light Touch Regime under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. In accordance with Regulation 76, the Council has determined the procedure to be applied having regard to the specific nature of the services and the needs of service users, including the importance of continuity and quality of service. The Council considers direct awards to existing providers appropriate and proportionate to maintain continuity for existing service users and support the achievement of their individual outcomes. Providers must satisfy the Council's pre-qualification requirements and will form part of its resource of qualified providers. The resource remains open to new providers who meet those requirements.
