Why this procedure was chosen
The contract was awarded by direct award under the Crown Commercial Service RM6165 Construction Professional Services Framework (Lot 1), in accordance with the framework's call‑off procedures. The Council required continuity of specialist highways and transport delivery capability to support the delivery of major, externally funded transport programmes. The existing Strategic Delivery Partner contract had reached its maximum permissible value and could not be further extended. The Council's original intention was to undertake a competitive procurement using the replacement CCS framework. However, delays to the availability of the new framework, combined with the impending closure of the existing RM6165 framework to new procurements, meant that it was not possible to complete a compliant competitive process within the available timescales. Without the award of a time‑limited contract, the Council would have experienced an immediate loss of critical delivery capacity, placing live programmes at significant risk and exposing the Council to potential delay, funding clawback and non‑compliance with funder governance requirements. The direct award of a 12‑month contract to the incumbent supplier under RM6165 was therefore the only lawful, practical and proportionate option available to maintain continuity of service while a future competitive procurement is prepared. The award was approved in accordance with the Council's governance and financial regulations.
