It is considered that the direct award of the contract is lawful in accordance with section 41(1) of the Procurement Act 2023 and paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 for technical reasons. The Contractor owns the relevant technical information relating to the equipment and has the required technical expertise and know-how necessary to fulfil the Authority’s requirement.
