Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The requirement for a Thoracic Surgical Robot was sourced as a direct award, subject to a competitive process, from a Framework Agreement as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (reg 33(8)c). The NHS Supply Chain Robotic Medical Equipment, Associated Accessories and Consumables framework reference 2024/S 000-004668 has been chosen as it had a suitable set of suppliers available under this framework to meet the requirements and allowed for a direct award as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (reg 33(7) and (9)). This framework only allows for direct award; however the Trust has run a competitive evaluation process of the two capable suppliers available under the framework in order to establish who best meets the Trusts criteria, qualitatively and financially. Following the conclusion of the competitive process to demonstrate value for money and to ensure that the participating suppliers were able to meet the requirements of the specification, the Authority’s intention was to direct award under the framework to the supplier with the highest overall scored weighting.
