The contract is intended to run for a two-year period of ~ 02-2026 to 02-2028.
The estimated contract value is £1m excluding VAT.
It is considered that this contract can be awarded under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because the direct award justification specified in paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 applies.
The Authority submits that this justification applies because due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, and there being no alternatives, only Retrotec Limited are able to provide the services required.
