Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Negotiated without a prior call for competition
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
Commissioners are confident that an award of a new contract to a single provider without advertisement is justified and are satisfied that the overall contract is capable of being provided only by that provider. The Commissioner’s guiding principles being:
• the requirement to commission services from those providers that are most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and improving the quality and efficiency of services, and that provide the best value for money in doing so.
• the requirement to consider appropriate means of improving NHS health care services.
The Commissioner has carried out a detailed review of the provision of particular services in its local area in order to understand how those services can be improved and, as part of that review, identified the most capable provider or providers of those services. The review has included an assessment to determine past and current performance, capability and capacity for the provider to deliver the future requirements of the contract.
In the context of the review undertaken and the recommendations derived from a collaborative approach to what needs to change, the Commissioner has been able to identify with reasonable certainty that it is the incumbent provider that is capable of providing the contract (or that is capable of developing the capacity/infrastructure to do so) and to determine the incumbent provider is most capable of securing the needs of health care service users and of improving services, and represent best value for money for the contract period required from 1st April 2024.
