This direct award seeks to rely on paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23), namely there is an absence of competition for technical reasons and there are no reasonable alternatives.

The contracting authority has carried out an assessment of the market to identify possible alternative service providers. However, the assessment has not revealed any reasonable alternatives.
