Direct Award Justification



Allowed by statutory instrument:

No



Direct award justifications:


Single supplier - intellectual property
Additional or repeat - extension


Justification description:

Direct award is justified under Schedule 5 Clauses 5 and 7 of the Procurement Act as TSGN have an existing contract with the supplier, and a change of supplier would result in receiving incompatible services as only Scheidt and Bachmann can provide support and maintenance of the TVMs due to intellectual property rights.
