Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition Following an assessment of the Moat's requirements, it was determined that Cotality was the most appropriate supplier to deliver the required retrofit consultancy services. Moat has an existing contractual relationship with Cotality for similar services and has previously received satisfactory performance. Continuing with the same supplier provides continuity of service, ensures consistency in the delivery of PAS2035 compliance activities, reduces mobilisation risks, and enables Moat to build upon existing knowledge of its housing stock and retrofit programme. As the contract has been awarded via a lawfully procured framework agreement that permits direct award, there is no requirement to undertake a separate procurement process or publish a new contract notice in OJEU or FTS. The award is therefore compliant with the relevant framework provisions and procurement regulations governing the use of framework agreements.
