Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
Urgent award of a short term 3 month contract due to limited activity being provided through insourcing contracts to support the unexpected increase in the number of patients that have had their priority increased to urgent which impacts on displacing routine long waiters. The ongoing delays in the opening of new theatres at Musgrove Park Hospital is restricting the expected surgery capacity required to meet growing demand.
