Legal Justification

The services are to analyse the facts and circumstances around claims for compensation from a contractor. Events unforeseeable by the Authority were the extent of the claims raised by the Contractor which need to be responded to by the Authority. This award is strictly necessary because the volume and complexity of the services needed and the time in which they need to be delivered is not within the capabilities and capacity of the authority. There is extreme urgency as if matters are not resolved, either party can refer the matter to adjudication. Analysis is needed promptly to allow the Authority to engage with the contractor to avoid adjudication, or to have a timely response prepared in the event that the Contractor issues a notice of adjudication (which run to a very tight timescale. The Authority would not have sufficient time to run a competitive procurement procedure and for the analysis work in either scenario.
