DE&S advertised this requirement for competition but due to the lack of interest in the market will proceed with a direct placement of the follow-on requirement. This contract will include 2 option years which can be invoked at any point. The original competitive notice was issued on 17 April 2024 and only the incumbent (Serco Ltd) submitted a DPQQ. Due to the failed competition, it is considered that this contract can be awarded as Single Source under Regulation 16(1)(a)(i) of the DSPCR 2011 due to the absence of tenders and Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) due to technical reasons as competition has demonstrated only one supplier can meet the requirement.
