Why no open competition: Urgency
Published justification: The contract is required to ensure the Councils can continue to meet its statutory homelessness and housing duties through the provision of temporary accommodation. Previous market engagement failed to generate sufficient supplier interest or a viable competitive solution. A direct award is therefore necessary to secure immediate accommodation capacity and maintain continuity of service.
