- Direct awardNICTS Appointment of a Broker to commission the sale of an arrested shipping vessel
Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service (NICTS) · 9 Sept 2026 · Withheld Section 94 Supplier · Official notice
Rationale: There are direct award justifications provided for under Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the PA 2023 which permit a Contracting Authority to award a public contract to a single supplier where the supplies or services can only be supplied by a particular supplier and the following conditions are met:- Where— (a) the goods, services or works to be supplied under the public contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and (b) as a result the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure. NICTS has been tasked with sourcing a broker to appraise the vessel ready for sale and delays in appointing the broker will increase the overall costs to the NICTS which are payable from the sale. There is a time pressure to secure the sale of the vessel as soon as practical, as daily mooring fees are being incurred and the totality of these fees is deducted from the sale value of the vessel. At this stage the value of the vessel is unappraised as NICTS cannot engage an independent valuer until the broker is appointed. Furthermore, a skeleton crew must remain onboard the vessel until it is sold. This is a mandatory requirement in line with Maritime Law and Health and Safety requirements of Belfast Harbour. Weekly berthing costs are therefore accruing, as well as the crew’s wages which the creditor has agreed to pay, so it is therefore imperative that the vessel is sold before the costs outweigh the sale value. A competitive tender competition would therefore not be seen as demonstrating best value for money (VFM). In addition, it is noted that the supplier is also the appointed provider within GB mainland and their costs are set in UK legislation under Practice Direction 61 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The costs for this provision are exactly as set out in said legislation, therefore demonstrating VFM.

- Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competitionSupply and Support of Automated Film Scanners
Historic Environment Scotland · 9 Sept 2026 · Hartech Automation Limited · Official notice
Rationale: HES intends to award to the Supplier on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons. On the basis no scanning workstations are available in the marketplace for the automated digitisation of pre-1970s aerial film, a procurement exercise was undertaken by Historic Environment Scotland in 2024 for the development of a prototype bespoke solution. This resulted in a contract being awarded to the Supplier. In January 2025 the prototype workstation successfully passed acceptance testing by the NCAP team. The supply of the workstations can therefore only be provided by the supplier.

- Direct awardUK5Framework for the Supply of Bulk Gases and Associated Equipment
CENTRE FOR PROCESS INNOVATION LIMITED · 9 Sept 2026 · Air Products PLC · Official notice
Rationale: The proposed direct award is justified on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons, in accordance with Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023. Competition is absent due to the existing bulk gas infrastructure installed and owned by the incumbent supplier. The current storage tanks, pipework, telemetry systems, and associated control equipment are specifically designed to operate with the incumbent’s supply arrangements. The costs associated with replacing this infrastructure would be significant and would outweigh any potential savings that could be achieved through a competitive tender process. Changing supplier would introduce operational disruption and potential risks to continuity of supply during the transition period.
