Why no open competition
Urgency
Published justification

Section 73 officer is an essential requirement for the running of a combined authority and is therefore an urgent need. Given the specialist nature of the work and the need to appoint an individual with significant experience and the required expertise/skill set, given the challenges facing the authority, there is considered to be strong justification in working directly with Penna PLC.
