- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement as Becton Dickinson Dispensing UK Ltd have exclusive rights over the maintenance, updates and licences for this system which is critical to patient care and service delivery. The replacement of which would require infrastructure, ICT and validation work that would result in significant disruption and disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to deliver a Pharmacy dispensing service.

This is an interim measure, a tender process was unsuccessful and the wider market will be consulted again when this is re-tendered
