Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below

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
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the
directive

3.Explanation
Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
is lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive:
The global pandemic of Covid-19 has caused extreme pressure on the supply chain for scrub suits, tops and trousers which are an essential part of uniform worn by healthcare workers treating such patients. The demand for scrub suits, tops and trousers has increased significantly putting particular strain on our contracted supplier who is no longer able to fulfil orders, thus causing a breakdown in our normally compliant purchasing route. The pandemic is too significant and immediate to permit for normal OJEU advertisement procedures to be followed and the scope and volume of pandemic and subsequent requirements for scrub suits, tops and trousers was unforeseeable.
