(a)       directly award the contract to the contractor currently undertaking Phase 1 of the works based on the competitive rates via the Welsh Procurement Alliance Energy Framework as agreed by Procurement, and

(b)       that the 5-day call in period requirement prior to implementing the Cabinet decision is waived on the basis that the current contract ends on 30 September 2022 and any delay in contract award will lead to additional costs and programme delays leading to the risk of missing grant stipulated spending deadlines.
