Continuous Waking Watch provision remains necessary to support resident safety and simultaneous evacuation arrangements. Any interruption in service may expose residents to immediate risk, create legal and regulatory exposure for the Council, and potentially place the Council in breach of its statutory obligations. A direct award is therefore necessary to maintain continuity whilst a competitive procurement process is undertaken."
