Direct award justification

  • Single supplier - technical reasons
  • Additional or repeat goods, services or works - further goods, services or works following a competitive procedure

initial scoping of RT3-25 indicated that a change in supplier would result in the MOD receiving services that are different from, and incompatible with existing REDSHOE activity, and that the difference from and incompatibility with REDSHOE would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in delivering the RT3-25 operation.
