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:

Funding was received from Health Education England (HEE) as part of their Training Recovery programme. Funding has been paid to the Trust through the Education Contract that we hold with HEE. It is vital that plans linked to this funding are delivered by 31 March 2023, and in line with HEE's financial governance, that no funding is carried over into the next financial year (i.e., after 1 April 2023). Given the limited timeframe available in which these products need to be delivered, there has been insufficient time to issue a call for competition.

As far as we are aware, these virtual reality simulators from Haag-Streit are the only ones of their kind available on the market.

four.1.8) Information about the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA)

The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: No
