Regulation 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because no suitable tenders have been submitted in response to an open procedure and the contracting authority is using \u003cbr/\u003ethe negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice on the basis that the initial conditions of contract are not substantially altered; and/or \u003cbr/\u003eb. Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because this is a safety critical project with constraints on access and working hours which require works to \u003cbr/\u003ecommence urgently. Therefore, for reasons of extreme urgency the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied \u003cbr/\u003ewith. The receipt of no suitable tenders in response to the previous open procedure was unforeseeable by the contracting authority.",
