## Summary

The City of Doncaster Council has awarded a contract for the "DSA - Business Case Review" concerning Doncaster Sheffield Airport. This procurement falls under the industry category of business services, specifically involving law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security.

Businesses able to offer advanced analytical services to public authorities like the City of Doncaster Council could leverage their capabilities for growth. Furthermore, firms that specialise in strategic consulting, possessing an understanding of complex market environments like South Yorkshire, would be well-placed to compete in similar future direct award contracts. Such expertise can facilitate informed decision-making and provide competitive advantages in the public procurement arena.

## Notice

A direct award is proposed for the Business Case Review for Doncaster Sheffield Airport due to the need for continuity, specialist expertise, and timely delivery. The selected provider has unique and demonstrable knowledge of the airport, its operating history, and the wider South Yorkshire aviation and investment context, which would be difficult to replicate through a competitive process without significant delay and cost. A direct award minimises mobilisation risks, ensures consistency with previous analysis and assumptions, and enables rapid progression to support critical strategic and financial decision-making, while still representing value for money and compliance with relevant procurement regulations.
