The current supplier has only a few weeks remaining on their Purchase Order (PO) and contract with WRAP – expiring 31st March I believe. A lapse in service would result in disruption, impacting WRAP’s operations before the new procurement is finalised.
Given these factors, a Direct Award has been considered to bridge the service gap whilst ensuring compliance with procurement regulations, for £22.5k covering up to a three-month period would enable continued service while the tender process progresses.
