Reasons for
recommendations
As outlined within the report
 
Other options
considered and rejected
To award the contract to another
consultant.  This has been rejected as
the contract winner offered a value for money proposal.
 
An open tender process was considered.
However, this approach was rejected in favour of the Bloom
framework to expedite the procurement process and leverage
pre-vetted expertise.
 
To delay the contract award to a later
date.  This option has been rejected as
this would essentially delay progress putting grant funding at
risk.
