Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
This Direct Award to a single supplier is justified on the grounds set out under paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 of Procurement Act 2023 where the conditions are met in relation to the public contract. The Direct Award Contract approach is sector practise, and standard within the sector currently and required to ensure international business is efficient and relationships are maintained in what can be politically complex bi, tri and multi-lateral agreements. CII have the established relationship with the two universities involved in the joint partnership (DUFE and HGU) and also works with another University to support delivery at DUFE. Service disruption could lead to student reallocation, reputational damage, and income loss. CII's continued involvement is critical to safeguarding Ulster's position and growth in China. Therefore, due to the above reasons, a DAC has been chosen as a compliant route to market, as continuity of services is vital.
