Why no open competition
Urgency
Published justification

An urgent requirement has arisen that could not be addressed through competitive procurement procedures, and the circumstances giving rise to this urgency were neither foreseeable nor caused by TfW. The vehicles concerned are surplus to the supplier’s requirements and are immediately available. Their rapid acquisition is essential to enhance customer service and strengthen service resilience for TfW, and the timeframe required does not permit a competitive tendering process.
