No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleDefra's justification for a direct award is based on Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits a direct award where, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can provide the required services and there are no reasonable alternatives.
