- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights; Urgency
- Published justification
Based on the criteria set out under Schedule 5, the direct award would fall under;
The goods, services or works can only be supplied by a particular supplier i.e. where competition is absent for technical reasons or due to the supplier having intellectual property or other exclusive rights and only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works and there is no reasonable alternative. The supplier provides full-time support workers who are trained to support refugees.
Extreme and unavoidable urgency - Increased internal resourcing challenges have contributed to the Direct Award decision, as well as ensuring the Council continues to meet its obligations under the Government resettlement schemes and associated grant conditions.
Without a commissioned provision in place, to enable individuals and families to integrate successfully, could lead to increased risk of poor outcomes, including tenancy failure, unemployment, and reduced wellbeing.
In addition, for those vulnerable individuals and families already engaged in the programme could lead to increased risks of homelessness, social isolation, and safeguarding concerns.
