The contract was procured under the negotiated procedure as laid out under regulation 33(1)(c) of the The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Regulation 33(1)(c) where (but only if it is strictly necessary) for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for open procedure, restricted procedure or competitive procedure with negotiation cannot be complied with.
