Published justification

The Framework partner has and is carrying out significant upfront work on several ongoing projects within the JV that would be ready to initiate in 25/26. The timescales to complete a competitive process will result to significant delays in bringing those projects forward with work in progress being halted. This delay will impact on receipt of key revenues and impacts the timeline for key housing site delivery.
