Why this procedure was chosen
Section 43 (Switching to Direct Award) of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA2023) permits a contracting authority to switch from a competitive tendering procedure to the direct award Page 5 to 7 of a public contract in circumstances where no, or no suitable, tenders or requests to participate have been received during the competitive tendering procedure. This is applicable when the contracting authority determines that awarding a contract through a competitive tendering procedure under Section 19 is not feasible in the given circumstances. The contracting authority previously conducted an open competitive procurement process for this orienteering requirement in May 2025 but did not receive any suitable tenders or requests to participate. This was likely due to the niche nature of the requirement, the limited number of suppliers in this specialised field, and the logistical challenges of the specified location. Only one bid was submitted, and the competition attracted limited interest, with no other suppliers confirming interest or submitting clarification questions, resulting in no suitable tenders. Consequently, it is not possible to proceed under section 19, and a direct award under section 43 has been deemed necessary to meet the requirement.
