Description

Provision of Security Operation Centre Award against framework: ICT Solutions 3 The HTE framework outlines the various options to issue a Direct Award. The option to be used in this case is ‘Participating Authority Objective Justification’. The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 permits the direct award of a contract without competition under Regulation 33 (1) (c), where for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for open procedure or competitive procedure with negotiation cannot be complied with. As the Education cyber incident was an unforeseeable event, Regulation 33 (1) (c) applies. (SC Ref:820312)
