- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons; Urgency
- Published justification
The incumbent provider advised in late December that they would stop cover on 1st of March, living insufficient time for a full tender exercise. Our broker did a market exercise and only one supplier was able to quote for the Councils specialist need and provide sufficient cover for the Council's unique listed heritage buildings.
