Legal Justification

The expertise required for this project is highly technical spanning a multitude of disciplines. Frontier Economics has been chosen for Direct Award given their unique ability to provide technical expertise across water industry business planning, economics, financial planning, operational requirements and for extensive background and experience on analysis of previous Price Controls in water and other relevant sectors. This combination of expertise is not available in the wider market in one contractor and therefore Direct Award is considered appropriate in this circumstance.
