Direct award for property consultancy due to incumbent's unique knowledge.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
Hertfordshire County Council intends to directly award a property consultancy service contract for the Brookfield Project to the incumbent supplier, CJ. The supplier has delivered the service for several years, developing significant service-specific knowledge, established processes, and relationships with external stakeholders. A replacement supplier would lack the detailed knowledge of historic and ongoing negotiations, requiring extensive mobilization and incurring substantial additional costs. The council argues that an alternative supplier would be incompatible with the existing operational environment, posing technical and operational risks to service outcomes.
