- Why no open competition
- Urgency
- Published justification
- The Authority intends to award this contract directly due to an urgent requirement which arose from circumstances that could not reasonably have been foreseen during normal procurement planning. A competitive procurement exercise could not be completed within the timescales required to meet the Authority's operational needs. The Authority considers the direct award to be necessary, proportionate and limited to the minimum scope and duration required to address the immediate requirement.
