Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
Direct award to Merseyside and West Lancashire NHS Trust (MWL), the current provider of the Falls Prevention Service since April 2014. The service has undergone three failed tender processes under Contract Procedure Rules, all of which failed to secure a provider. Following this, a non award decision was made at PLT in October 2024 and it was agreed to redesign the current service rather than re-tender again. A direct award to the existing provider allows continuity of service while the redesign work is carried out.
