Part 13: General Schedule 5: Direct award justifications Single suppliers
Paragraph 4 allows for direct award where the contract is for the creation or acquisition of a unique work of art or artistic performance. This may, for example, be based on preference rather than objective criteria.
	Paragraph 5 allows for direct award of a contract when only one supplier can deliver the contract due to intellectual property or other exclusive rights, this could be for example licence or contractual rights, owning particular property or having statutory rights.
	Paragraph 6 allows for direct award of a contract where, due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can deliver the contract. This may be for example due to technical know-how, changes to or support services for existing goods where the supplier is the original supplier.
	For paragraphs 5 and 6 to apply there will also need to be no reasonable alternative to the goods, services or works to be provided.
