Negotiated without a prior call for competition
Justification:
The conditions, stipulated in Art. 11.1 (c) of Annex I to EU Financial Regulation, were cumulatively fulfilled.The extreme urgency, brought about by unforeseeable events, is not attributable to the contracting authority. The contracting authority made all possible efforts and took all necessary steps and measures in order to assure the timely continuation of the provision of insurance services for the operational site in Strasbourg, France. Since multiple calls for tenders failed, it may not be responsible for a particular situation in the market, regarding the specificity of the operational site, and furthermore, may not control it. Likewise, it may as well be suggested that the contracting authority acted with due diligence and exhausted all the means and measures, available to it, for acquiring the necessary services of insurance. After multiple unsuccessful calls for tenders, available measures at disposal had to be adopted for securing insurance services for operational site due to its strategic importance and exposure to greater risks.The negative effects on the market by the launch of this negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice are avoided by strictly respecting the principle of proportionality, which is ensured in the following manner:— the Agency aims to satisfy only immediate and basic needs of insurance, regarding its operational site. The objective is to acquire the most necessary insurance services, in order to avoid huge financial losses, in case of any accident or event, and to sustain the gap until a stable solution is implemented. It is important to note that this call for tenders does not intend to cover insurance intermediary services or any other additional services or insurance coverage which are not vital to the functioning of the Agency. To this end, the needs of the Agency are considered to be immediate and proportional,— duration of the foreseen contract is proportional to the satisfaction of the most immediate and basic needs. Envisaged duration of the contract is necessary to complete a new open call for tenders,— To ensure the competition, more than one economic operator were invited to submit the offers.
