Procedure
Procedure type
Direct award
Direct award justification
- Extreme and unavoidable urgency
- Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement
Due to the abandonment of the procurement process to replace the current contract, it is necessary to put this temporary contract in place with the incumbent to allow for a replacement, long-term contract to be procured.
Discontinuation of service would create unacceptable operational risk, and the temporary extension is necessary to protect public safety and continuity of critical operations
