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
- New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services
Explanation:
Although there are alternative providers in the market, these are not considered to be realistic alternatives for HWE ICB's specific requirements, therefore direct award process A is used to award a contract.
Such services include, but are not limited to:
- Type 1 and 2 urgent and emergency services and associated emergency inpatient services.
- 999 emergency ambulance services.
- NHS urgent mental health crisis services.
- services established as a commissioner requested services (CRS).
- services provided by NHS trusts designated as ‘essential services’ in their NHS Standard Contract.
- a service that is interdependent with, and cannot realistically be provided separately from, another service which only that provider can realistically provide (e.g., because of a need for cross-specialty or cross-service working)
