In the circumstances the Council must act urgently and there is not sufficient time to carry out a competitive tendering procedure.\n\u2022\tThe urgency is unavoidable and was not attributable to any act or omission of the council. \nThe need to ensure continuity of services to vulnerable service users provides grounds to rely on this justification and direct award a contract to the identified supplier.\nThe council will not utilise a \u0027standstill period\u0027 of eight working days due to the timing of requirements.",
