- Why no open competition
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
Further development of detailed design of works previously undertaken with WSP to plan active travel networks and provide detailed design for specific active travel infrastructure schemes within the project areas.
Direct Award to supplier to ensure appropriate use of the grant funding within the restricted timeline given supporting the major project at Aykley Heads and wider region transport infrastructure. Risk considered versus benefits and the unlikely nature of a new consultant picking up this work at this time and completing the further design work in a competitive environment.
