- Direct awardUK5Provision of Resettlement Support Services for the London Borough of Hillingdon.
London Borough of Hillingdon · 17 Sept 2026 · Trinity Homeless Projects · Official notice
Rationale: Based on the criteria set out under Schedule 5, the direct award would fall under; The goods, services or works can only be supplied by a particular supplier i.e. where competition is absent for technical reasons or due to the supplier having intellectual property or other exclusive rights and only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works and there is no reasonable alternative. The supplier provides full-time support workers who are trained to support refugees. Extreme and unavoidable urgency - Increased internal resourcing challenges have contributed to the Direct Award decision, as well as ensuring the Council continues to meet its obligations under the Government resettlement schemes and associated grant conditions. Without a commissioned provision in place, to enable individuals and families to integrate successfully, could lead to increased risk of poor outcomes, including tenancy failure, unemployment, and reduced wellbeing. In addition, for those vulnerable individuals and families already engaged in the programme could lead to increased risks of homelessness, social isolation, and safeguarding concerns.
- Direct awardIntegrated Community Outreach Support
Cornwall Council · 17 Sept 2026 · Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly · Official notice
Rationale: The Authority wishes to continue the provision of community outreach services, currently delivered by suppliers forming the Inclusion Matters partnership and through intermediate care services commissioned and funded by NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. The community outreach services are considered the same and compatible to the existing provision of social inclusion services and intermediate care services delivered by those suppliers. A direct award, to the suppliers listed in this notice, will allow for the continuation of services, by the supplier cohort, without disruption to operational service delivery. The Authority considers the risk to operational service deliver disruption to be disproportionate, were the current service and suppliers to change, as a result of undertaking a competitive procurement procedure.

Clarion Housing Group · 17 Sept 2026 · Lathams Recycling Centre Limited · Official notice
Rationale: In line with Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023, this Direct Award is compliant on the basis that, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only this Supplier can provide the required waste disposal services, and there are no reasonable alternatives.
