Why this procedure was chosen
WBD has been selected as the most suitable supplier based on the following objective criteria: -Continuity of Service and Technical Knowledge: Having held the previous contract (ended December 2025), WBD possesses deep institutional knowledge of IOPC’s ongoing litigation and complex employee relations cases. A change in supplier would introduce significant "disproportionate technical difficulties" and risks to active legal proceedings. -Framework Alignment: WBD is a pre-qualified supplier on RM6240 Lot 1a, which includes all mandatory specialisms (Employment, Litigation, and Dispute Resolution) required by the IOPC. -Value for Money: By utilising the direct award process, the IOPC accepts the maximum framework prices, which have been pre-vetted by CCS for public sector value. The 75%/25% Quality/Price ratio established at the framework level is maintained through this award.
