IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated procedure without prior publication
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
The travel training model being proposed by HCT Group is unique in that the local authority only has to pay by results, and is being co-developed by HCT Group, Norfolk County Council and the Social Investor.
It is not a service currently available in a commercialised market, requiring new investment and service innovation facilitated by that investment, plus collaboration from all stakeholders to create a model that will be of a scale to achieve the savings for the local authority.
