Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
Justification for this award is due to the bespoke requirements needed to fulfil urgent staff vacancies at Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Trust. The Covid-19 pandemic has placed unforeseen, extraordinary pressures on health services. This direct award ensures the safe continuity of clinical care of patients. Covid-19 testing also needs to be undertaken on the arrival to the UK so it is imperative the residential addresses are known well in advance of arrival.
The apartment block is based in close proximity to MKUH site and meets the requirement of accommodation for the overseas nurses. No other suppliers can meet this requirement due to the limited availability of suitable rental housing within the Milton Keynes area plus the need to have own amenities (bathroom and kitchenette).
