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:
Due to unforeseen circumstances the existing procurement route for the provision of this service has become unavailable at short notice. It is critical that the service is maintained to provide uninterrupted ability to provide Primary Care workforce information for reporting, analysis and planning.
The agreement to supply the current software package is required for up to 24 months and is required to be implemented before the end of March 2021. Therefore, this will allow further work to be carried out on the development of additional functional requirements to meet all stakeholder requirements and adhere to Welsh Government guidance policies within the contract period.
A competitive tender exercise will be undertaken before the expiry of this agreement in March 2023 which will also reflect the development of the additional functional requirements required to be undertaken.
