Explanation:
In October 2020, EA established a below threshold, directly awarded contract with C&F Quadrant (NI) Ltd for the value of £100,000 for Service/Supply of Gas Controls, Pumps, Gas Boiler Systems and Parts. The contract commenced on 27 Oct 20 until 31 March 21.

EA issue this notice under the basis of PCR 2015 (32) (2) (c) Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority.
