- Published justification
A direct award is considered necessary and proportionate to ensure continuity of a statutory domestic abuse refuge service and to avoid any disruption to accommodation and support for vulnerable residents. The contract provides a time-limited arrangement to maintain service provision while the authority undertakes a review of future requirements and develops a longer-term procurement approach.
