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:
As there are 11 different suppliers for this purchase, each of whom supplies a very small volume of antivenoms, Public Health England will communicate with suppliers and place orders following an exchange of e-mails with the supplier to confirm price per dose, shelf life and delivery timescales. The UK hub sites based across the country are required to hold specified minimum volume on likely treatment dosage. This allows delivery to be made within 5 hours (best endeavours) from when the request is received to any hospital location within the UK.
As there are very limited suppliers in the Aativenom market we are using Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) to award the contract to 11 Suppliers, based mainly internationally. The total contract value specified per supplier cannot be confirmed, as this is dependant on different expiry date of stocks held across various sites across UK. Additionally, the selection of each antivenom will be based on the opinion of the Advisory Group.
Note that under "Section V: Award of contract" no tenders were received; however, for the purpose of populating the field "11" has been entered as the contract is being awarded to 11 suppliers. A value needed to be entered as the field was mandatory.
Also under the same section "Total value of the contract/lot" is appearing as £309173.57, however, the total value to be awarded during the contract term may be low as this is dependant upon factors mentioned above. A value needed to be entered as the field was mandatory.
