Switching Direct Award
Published justification

This contract is being awarded directly to a supplier that is not an excluded supplier by virtue of section 43 of the PA 2023 (switching to direct award) as no suitable tenders were received for the requirement as set out in the tender notice and therefore an award under section 19 of that Act is not possible.
