Legal Justification

This voluntary ex ante transparency notice is intended to provide notice of the Authority's decision to proceed with awarding a contract to Cardiff University for academic support for the newly formed Commission. The reason for the direct award is that there is a risk that there could be a potential conflict of interest with other interested bidders with the one of the lobby/interest groups might make a successful bid, which would challenge the robustness of the evidence provided to the Commission. Cardiff University have the knowledge and expertise in both planning and geography in Wales whilst also not having potential conflicts of interest due to their independence with the Commission being formed.
