Why this procedure was chosen
Following the unexpected early termination by the incumbent provider, the Council was left with insufficient time to complete a compliant procurement procedure before service cessation on 30 June 2025. Given the essential and safety-critical nature of the contract, a direct award was necessary to ensure continuity of service and safeguard residents. The urgency arose from circumstances not attributable to the Council.
