Procedure rationaleA direct award is necessary because the selected provider is the only survey organisation with the operational capacity to conduct fieldwork consistently across all required countries. No alternative supplier offers comparable multi‑country coverage. Using multiple survey companies would introduce methodological inconsistencies that would undermine the reliability of the results. Differences in sampling, fieldwork practices, or data‑collection protocols across providers could not be disentangled from genuine cross‑country variation, rendering the findings unsuitable for comparative analysis. Given these constraints, a competitive process would not yield a viable alternative supplier. A direct award is therefore the only practical and proportionate option to ensure methodological integrity and timely delivery of the survey.
