Procurement Method Details
Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The call-off via SCF framework allows for a direct award process where there is a demonstrable advantage for the contracting authority to award its project to a particular supplier, for example in providing continuation of a particular supplier’s site team or setup from another project, a particular experience or specialism that is only available within a particular supplier, or a service only available via that supplier, that satisfies the needs of the contracting authority and represents best value. It is also possible to use the Direct Award option where there is an urgent programme requirement which does not allow sufficient time to carry out a Mini Competition.
