- Why no open competition
- Urgency
- Published justification
The building was found to have critically unsafe electrical wiring, creating an immediate risk to life and building safety. Power has been fully isolated and over 25 staff have been decanted to temporary accommodation. Due to the urgent need to make the building safe and operational, a competitive process could not be run without causing unacceptable delay and risk. A direct award was therefore made to address this unforeseen and extreme urgency.
