Why this procedure was chosen
This requirement is location specific, and a third party could not deliver the measure without the Duchy of Cornwall (Landowner) and RSWT (Land Manager) agreement, Defra do not consider it appropriate to tender for this project. The only route to market option is a direct contract award by single tender action to RSWT.
