Procedure
Procedure type
Direct award
Direct award justification
Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights
Under Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 of PA2023, a direct award is justifiable where the contract can only be supplied by a specific supplier due to intellectual property (IP) rights and no reasonable alternatives exist. In this case, the supplier retains exclusive ownership of the source code, meaning transitioning to a new supplier would require a complete redevelopment of existing work, resulting in significant financial and time costs that render alternative options impractical.
