Procedure
Procedure type
Direct award
Direct award justification
- Single supplier - technical reasons
- Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement
There is a directive under the new PA23 regulations to cease all DPS' from 24 February 2029. As CCS have a number of live DPS' already on the existing platform there is a requirement to provide continuity of service until such time DPS' expire. Due to the technical nature for developing and maintaining these live procurements migrating to a new supplier is not feasible therefore a direct award is the most appropriate route to market
