3. Explanation

Please explain in a clear and comprehensive manner why the award of the contract without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union is
lawful, by stating the relevant facts and, as appropriate, the conclusions of law in accordance with the directive: (500 words maximum)
The scope of works required to carry out the contract combines several disciplines including real estate investing, real estate and corporate finance advisory, and a track record of implementing the recommendation and managing granular real estate assets on a portfolio basis.
Given the specialist nature of this brief, and the integration of the contract with a highly significant internal strategic project, Hyde has established that it requires a single firm to provide the service, as to break the project into discreet parts to subcontract would be both costly and provide a burden of project management and counterparty reliability which would further add to the cost of delivery.
On investigating the market place and providers with the expertise to provide the vertical integration of the services, we found only one firm with the requisite expertise across all fundamental disciplines necessary for the services.
Resolute Asset Management LLP was founded by principals with an extensive background in investing in real estate to provide asset management and advisory services to clients. Unusually, the investing expertise is not coupled with an investment business, which may have created a conflict with Hyde’s core mission. Further, their core business of real estate advisory and implementing asset management solutions for large portfolios of granular assets, across multiple jurisdictions, set them apart from those firms that offer only advisory services.
Hyde’s assessment is that Resolute is singularly placed to not only design the optimised solution but also to execute it in practice, provide real estate professionals as a full time resource to assist Hyde with implementation.
Hyde is therefore of the view that if it were to seek to procure the Contract in accordance with the Regulations, competition would be absent for technical reasons as no service provider in the market would be able to provide the uniquely vertically integrated full design and delivery service offering proposed by Resolute.
