Why this procedure was chosen
The contract is required to ensure the continued delivery of statutory advocacy services, including IMHA, IMCA and Care Act advocacy, where there are clear legal duties on the authority. A direct award is necessary and proportionate to mitigate risk to vulnerable service users and ensure continuity of critical support while a longer-term procurement is undertaken.
