| Buyer: | LONDON GATEWAY PORT LIMITED |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | For reasons explained further below, LGPL considers that only CGR can deliver the necessary design services in the relevant timeframe due to an absence of competition for technical reasons. LGPL also considers that there are no reasonable alternatives to the required services. The design services relating to the BoxBay project are required immediately in order to facilitate planned construction works starting in March 2026 which will deliver additional capacity at London Gateway port. In order to successfully deliver this project, it is imperative that the chosen supplier can ensure a seamless integration with existing systems. To that end, the chosen supplier must be familiar with the existing London Gateway site conditions and the overall London Gateway masterplan to enable a full understanding and appreciation of the complex nature of the project. Given the urgent timescales, LGPL considers that CGR is the only capable supplier that is able to provide the services on the basis of their understanding of the logistical challenges and operational requirements that the project will involve. LGPL do not consider it would be reasonably possible for another service provider to familiarise with the site and site conditions, and the logistical and operational challenges of delivering a project in a live Terminal, within the timeframes required to increase the capacity at London Gateway port. Having undertaken several projects already at London Gateway port, CGR are familiar with the site, the existing site conditions, previous projects, existing/plant infrastructure and understand the overall Terminal masterplan therefore they are uniquely placed to deliver the services in the required timescales. Appointing an alternative service provider at this stage would require significant time to establish site familiarity which would result in delays to the construction works and a consequential failure to service the immediate demand that is being faced at London Gateway port. This would lead to lost business for LGPL at a time when future volume is expected to grow exponentially, thereby placing further demands on capacity at the port. Even if LGPL conducted an accelerated procurement process for the services, this would lead to unavoidable delays that would prevent the delivery of the required design services in time for the planned construction works starting in March 2026. |
