Procedure

Procedure type

Direct award

Direct award justification

Extreme and unavoidable urgency

The market for the supplier has an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.

Therefore this has meant the goods to be supplied under the public contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and as a result the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure
