IV) Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Direct award
Rationale
Extreme dry weather incident has resulted in reservoir stocks being substantially below the annual norm (circa 60%) which causes a risk to the provision of water services. Carbon dosing equipment is required as soon as possible to mitigate the effects of the drought. Carbon dosing equipment which is typically on a long lead time (6 months or longer) has been sourced via a supplier who have been able to deliver in less than half of this timescale after a search of the market. United Utilities are making a direct award on the basis that the equipment will be delivered in the shortest known lead-time available.
