- Published justification
The contract was awarded to AKW based on the best price and quality evaluation. A UK5 notice was published because the opportunity was posted on Contracts Finder instead of the Find a Tender Service (FTS), which it should have been due to being over the relevant threshold. The opportunity did receive 735 views on Contracts Finder displaying the relevant level of market competition. UK5, UK6, and UK7 notices were published, and a standstill period was observed in accordance with procurement regulations.
