Direct award
Direct award justification
Single supplier - technical reasons
This procurement is justified as a direct award to Rhodar Ltd due to the unique technical and operational requirements of the project, combined with a critical time constraint. Competing the work would risk unacceptable delays, cost increases, and reputational harm to UKRI.
Rhodar is the only supplier able to deliver the bespoke 12m fire-rated wall (fire stopping service) due to access constraints and the specialist design already approved.
