Urgency
Published justification

Under clauses 13 (a) and (b) schedule 5 of The Procurement Act 2023, Strata Service Solutions Ltd are direct awarding this contract due to unforeseen urgency. East Devon District Council decided to create a LatCo and deliver the implementation in a very short time frame. The contract with AMCS was coming to an end therefore a novation couldn't happen and Strata Service Solutions were tasked with getting a contract in place by June 2026. On top of this AMCS could not offer a contract less than 3 years. Strata Service Solutions Ltd will procure a new contract ready for the expiry of this current contract.
