Coverage: 417 active published awards; 27 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published |
No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleDue to embedded Business Continuity Planning within the organisation around ICT backup, it is not practical or feasible to change suppliers at this stage. Additional or repeat goods or services is the most suitable option for this direct award request, however, extreme and unavoidable urgency could also apply to this, as not continuing with the incumbent supplier and beginning a new procurement exercise at this stage in the existing contract would mean that there would be no data backup support and the organisation's ICT BCP would be void. |
