Procedure
Procedure type
Direct award
Direct award justification
Single supplier - technical reasons
The Council is enacting a direct award under section 41 (Direct award in special cases) of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 23), where there is only a single supplier able to carry out the service. This is allowable under the special case set out in Schedule 5 of PA 23 clause 6 which states:
The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-
(a)due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and
(b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.
The Council is not aware of any other supplier that offer these services due to the specialist nature of the Homelessness Out of Borough Discharge Service and therefore a direct award is justified under PA23.
