Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
The direct award of this framework to Onwave UK Ltd and Tended Limited is justified on technical grounds. A market engagement exercise confirmed that no other suppliers currently meet the necessary technical and certification requirements. This approach aligns with the Procurement Act 2023, which permits direct awards where competition is absent due to technical exclusivity.
