Switching to direct award

All suppliers submitting tenders failed to achieve required minimum score. The Authority therefore made the decision to direct award under Section 43 (2) which provides, among a list of criteria, that a tender will not be considered suitable if the Authority considers it does not satisfy the Authority's award criteria when assessed by reference to the assessment methodology and relative importance of the criteria.
