The Council is relying on section 41, to make the direct award for the justification set out in Schedule 5, paragraph 7), because the services from FDM are additional or a repeat order. The Act justifies a direct award where a contracting authority is ordering more of, or a partial replacement for, some existing goods, services or works, this second contract with FDM can be directly awarded where two conditions are fulfilled: - A change in supplier would mean the contracting authority receives different or incompatible goods, works or services. - The difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
