Procurement method rationaleThis direct award is made under the exemption provided in Schedule 5 paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits a contracting authority to award a contract without competition where, there is an absence of competition for technical reasons, and a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing service, and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. In this case: Ramboll UK Limited is the incumbent provider with unique technical expertise and detailed knowledge of LondonEnergy's asbestos risk profile, compliance systems, and operational processes. Ramboll has integrated its services with the Client's compliance database and established protocols for emergency response and asbestos risk mitigation. Switching to another provider would require significant duplication of effort, reconfiguration of systems, and revalidation of compliance processes, creating incompatibility risks and exposing the Client to serious health and safety hazards. These risks cannot be mitigated within a reasonable timeframe or cost without jeopardising statutory compliance and operational safety. Why competitive tendering was not pursued: A competitive procedure was considered but deemed unsuitable because no other supplier could provide the required continuity and technical integration without introducing unacceptable health and safety risks. Market engagement confirmed that alternative providers would require substantial mobilisation and system changes, which would delay critical compliance activities and increase the risk of asbestos exposure. Therefore, proceeding with a direct award is necessary and proportionate to safeguard health and safety and maintain legal compliance.

    "description": "The contract is for the provision of specialist Asbestos Risk Management Services to LondonEnergy Limited. These services are critical to ensuring compliance with statutory asbestos management obligations and mitigating significant health and safety risks across operational sites.\nThe scope includes:\n- Acting as the Client's trusted asbestos subject matter expert, providing independent and impartial advice.\n- Coordinating asbestos surveys, air monitoring, and remediation works through the approved supply chain.\n- Delivering Responsible Person asbestos training and supporting corporate governance.\n- Managing emergency response and containment following accidental asbestos releases.\n- Maintaining and improving the asbestos compliance database (Simple Compliance) and ensuring accurate reporting.\nThe services will be supplied exclusively by Ramboll UK Limited under a Master Services Agreement on a time and materials basis, with a total contract value not to exceed £913,875.00.\nRationale for exclusivity: Ramboll is the incumbent provider with unique technical expertise, established systems integration, and in-depth knowledge of LondonEnergy's asbestos risk profile. Changing provider would create incompatibility with existing compliance systems and processes, significantly increasing the risk of non-compliance and potential exposure to hazardous asbestos materials, which would endanger health and safety. No other provider can deliver these services without introducing unacceptable operational and safety risks.",
    "procurementMethod": "direct",
    "procurementMethodDetails": "Direct award",
    "procurementMethodRationale": "This direct award is made under the exemption provided in Schedule 5 paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits a contracting authority to award a contract without competition where, there is an absence of competition for technical reasons, and a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing service, and the  difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.\nIn this case:\nRamboll UK Limited is the incumbent provider with unique technical expertise and detailed knowledge of LondonEnergy's asbestos risk profile, compliance systems, and operational processes.\nRamboll has integrated its services with the Client's compliance database and established protocols for emergency response and asbestos risk mitigation.\nSwitching to another provider would require significant duplication of effort, reconfiguration of systems, and revalidation of compliance processes, creating incompatibility risks and exposing the Client to serious health and safety hazards.\nThese risks cannot be mitigated within a reasonable timeframe or cost without jeopardising statutory compliance and operational safety.\nWhy competitive tendering was not pursued:\nA competitive procedure was considered but deemed unsuitable because no other supplier could provide the required continuity and technical integration without introducing unacceptable health and safety risks. Market engagement confirmed that alternative providers would require substantial mobilisation and system changes, which would delay critical compliance activities and increase the risk of asbestos exposure. Therefore, proceeding with a direct award is necessary and proportionate to safeguard health and safety and maintain legal compliance.",
