Direct award justification
Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights
The Direct Award Justification under the Procurement Act 23 Schedule 5;
The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-
(a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and
(b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
Using components that do not meet the correct specifications during the train overhaul would lead to train failures, severely impacting service reliability, availability, and safety. Any unused on-condition components from this overhaul will support future needs and any casualty repair requirements.
