A direct award is a term used to define a contract for goods or services that is established between a buying party and a single qualifying supplier. The defining trait of a direct award is that no competitive solicitation process is initiated by the purchasing party - the terms are only sent directly to a single supplier for confirmation. On Tradogram, flexible request forms, contracts, and purchase orders can be sent to a single party for review and confirmation.
