Urgency
Published justification

NRS informed the consortium in July 2025 that it will be unable to continue to fulfil its contracts with effect from the 31 July 2025 owing to financial difficulties. NRS went into official receivership via court order on 1st August 2025.

The scope and complexities of requirement means that it is not possible to carry out a procurement even with shortened timeframes. A direct award is the only viable option.
