Maintenance is undertaken on a regular basis whereas repairs are are undertaken on and adhoc basis. Consequently there is no guarantee that the full contract value will be paid. Under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA) the Council can direct award a contract, if it is justified in accordance with Schedule 5 of PA. The direct award is justified in accordance with Schedule 5, paragraph 13 (of the PA) because the contract must be awarded to take effect from the 1st April 2026. The services are required for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and as a result the contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure. A standstill period will therefore not be applied.
