Rationale: Direct Award under Schedule 5, Regulation 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis that: The contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where: (a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. Continuity of the service provision with no satisfactory alternatives. A change/cessation of field trip provision would negatively impact the School of Engineering's student experience and capability to teach. A three-year agreement is required as the field trips are for 1st and 2nd year students only and the School of Engineering need to see the cohort of students through their degrees.

- Direct awardUK5Learning Disabilities Short Breaks and Emergency Support
Westminster City Council · 11 Sept 2026 · Learning Disability Network · Official notice
Rationale: The Council has statutory duties under the Health and Social Care Act 2008, the Care Act 2014 and other legislation, relating to the health, wellbeing and care of certain individuals. The Council is required to maintain access to supported and residential accommodation for adults with a learning disability. Paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 provides a justification for the direct award of public contracts where a particular supplier has exclusive rights which means that only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or work. RBKC and WCC work together to commission bed-based short breaks from two different premises - Kingsbridge Road and Alision House. The services operate as an integrated bi-borough model, with shared capacity across both premises The supplier has exclusive property rights to both Kingsbridge Road and Alision House: - The Kingsbridge Road premises were purchased by RBKC in March 2024, the supplier was the existing tenant at the point of acquisition. RBKC is regularising that lease arrangement with the supplier to align with the proposed contracts. - The supplier owns Alison House. The supplier has confirmed it will not make these premises available to another supplier to deliver the services. Market engagement and a supplier property survey have been undertaken by the Council which has confirmed that no alternative, suitable premises are currently available. Accordingly, there is no reasonable alternative to the services being provided by the supplier from the existing premises. Additionally, the premises at Kingsbridge Road needs significant development work. Capacity at Kingsbridge Road will be significantly reduced during redevelopment works. Having one supplier operating from both premises will provide flexibility enabling the Council to manage capacity and maintain stability and service continuity during the redevelopment period. This further supports that there is no reasonable alternative. The proposed three-year contract, with an optional two-year extension, will maintain service continuity and enable the Council to meet its statutory duties while the refurbishment works are completed at Kingsbridge Road; as well as providing time for the Council to further explore alternative premises. Further information can be found in the Council’s decision paper https://committees.westminster.gov.uk/documents/s73612/AH26-06%20Direct%20Award%20-%20Short%20Breaks.pdf
