Legal Justification

The Councils current supplier, NRS informed the Council in July 2025 that it will be unable to continue to fulfil its contracts with effect from the 31st July 2025 owing to financial difficulties. The Company is now in liquidation. Assistive technology is vital to ensure the safety of vulnerable residents. This direct award is essential to ensure emergency cover. There has been no time to seek competitive tenders from the time we were informed of the business failure and the ceasation of service. The direct award will enable us to maintain essential services whilst we recommission the contract longer term.
