  4. Direct award
    W835 - Highway Resource Support

    Derby City Council · 11 Sept 2026 · TARBY CONSTRUCTION LIMITED · Official notice

    Rationale: Additional or Repeat Goods, Services or Works Following a Competitive Procedure - The requirement is for additional labour resource support to supplement the existing workforce and enable the internal team to deliver the approved work programme. These services are a continuation of support currently being provided and are of the same nature and scope as those previously procured through a competitive process. Procuring further resource from the existing provider will ensure continuity of service, minimise mobilisation time, maintain productivity, and avoid disruption to planned works and operational delivery. Extreme and Unavoidable Urgency - There is an immediate operational requirement for additional labour resources to support the delivery of the work programme. The urgency has arisen from resource shortages and workload demands that could not reasonably have been foreseen and cannot be accommodated within existing staffing levels. Delays associated with conducting a full procurement exercise would adversely impact service delivery, programme milestones, and operational performance. Therefore, the procurement of additional resource is necessary to address the urgent requirement and ensure critical works can continue without interruption.

    Supply of Motus Wave Sensors

    Met Office · 11 Sept 2026 · Aanderaa Data Instruments AS · Official notice

    Rationale: New sensors will be required to replace existing stock deemed beyond economical repair for 2027 and beyond. The Marine Moored Buoy network exclusively uses the Motus Wave sensor. Aanderaa no longer have a UK distributor for the Motus Wave Sensor. A significant amount of engineering effort has been dedicated to integrating MOTUS wave sensors into the Marine Moored Network, where they are the sole wave sensor used by the Met Office across our Moored ODAS buoy sites. Previous acceptance trials have demonstrated that MOTUS is an exceptionally accurate and reliable sensor. Continuity of sensor supply enables standardisation of fleet technology and provides technically identical outputs for reliable scientific comparability of readings.

    Transportation and Processing of Dry Mixed Recycling

    Stoke on Trent City Council · 11 Sept 2026 · Matiq Group Ltd · Official notice

    Rationale: The Council considers a direct award to MATIQ Group Ltd to be justified under the Procurement Act 2023 on the grounds of extreme and unavoidable urgency arising from unforeseeable circumstances. The voluntary liquidation of the incumbent contractor and the loss of its principal processing facility created an immediate risk to the continuity of the Council's statutory recycling service, which could not reasonably have been foreseen and which does not allow sufficient time to conduct a competitive procurement exercise. MATIQ Group Ltd (appointed by the previous provider) has already demonstrated the necessary capacity, capability and compliance through existing contingency arrangements. An 18-month term is proposed as a proportionate interim arrangement to safeguard continuity of a statutory waste collection service while the Council undertakes the necessary market assessment, governance and procurement activity for the longer-term solution, and allows greater clarity to emerge regarding the wider strategic environment in which those longer-term arrangements will operate. The period provides a realistic and controlled timeframe to develop the future procurement strategy, complete the required approvals and allow sufficient time for any subsequent provider to mobilise effectively. This approach balances the immediate statutory service requirement with the Council's obligation to achieve a robust, competitive and sustainable longer-term procurement outcome.

    Software Enhancements for Engineering & Operations (SOROS)

    C2C RAILWAY LIMITED · 11 Sept 2026 · DANBURYKLINE LTD · Official notice

    Bloomberg Terminal Licneses

    THE UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER · 11 Sept 2026 · BLOOMBERG FINANCE L.P. · Official notice

    Rationale: This Direct Award to a single supplier is justified on the grounds set out under Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 of Procurement Act 2023 where the following conditions are met in relation to the public contract. Schedule 5, Paragraph 6: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The Direct Award Contract approach is standard within the sector currently as Bloomberg Finance LP is a sole supplier of Bloomberg Professional Software. This is the main financial trading software used globally and is the most commonly used with Higher Education on related programmes. All of UUBS Finance programmes include integrated learning and assessment strategies linked to Bloomberg software, whilst the University also provides the Bloomberg Market Concept certification within academic and professional programmes (this is only available with the use of this software). The software is also essential in terms of the programme developmental process in terms of FinTech. It would be detrimental to the University's Finance programmes at all levels, including student student recruitment, if the University no longer had access to Bloomberg software as it is integral to the delivery of these programmes. Related academic staff have been trained on the software and utilise it heavily within teaching and marketing activities to Schools. Therefore, due to the above reasons, a DAC has been chosen as a compliant route to market.
