| Buyer: | West Sussex County Council |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | This justifications apply because: • This is a statutory and essential service; the Council must place Children and Young People requiring urgent and specialist support regardless of cost. • Extreme urgency results from the Framework's expiry and the extension unpredictably being non-compliant. This is combined with a continuing number of high risk and complex placements. • This event was unforeseen and occurred without prior warning, leaving the Council insufficient time to conduct a compliant competitive procedure. The situation is unavoidable and demands immediate action to prevent serious harm to Children and Young People who the Council have a statutory responsibility to provide these services for. |
