- Why no open competition
- Switching Direct Award
- Published justification
A Direct Award Contract is required as the tender competition on eTenders was
unsuccessful. Three of the four bidders could not meet the required specification or
delivery deadline, and while the remaining bidder (Macs Truck Sales) submitted
paperwork with errors, they are the only supplier able to meet both the specification and
the required delivery date of 23 March 2026. A Direct Award is therefore the only viable
option to ensure timely delivery and operational continuity.
