Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32 (2) (b) (ii) of the PCR 2015 because Blakely Electrical are the OEM of the NSN’s to be procured under this contract. Technical information is not available to support a competition due to a lack of technical drawings. Spares must be procured to the manufacturers part number (MPN)’s detailed on CSIS.
