Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. Regulation 14 has been applied because the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the relevant authority, and also because delaying the award of the contract would be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety. An urgent award for a period exceeding 12 months due to need to review previous procurements, conduct new decision making process and requests from provider for longer period in order to maintain service stability.
