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:
Elective Services provide consistently high volumes from experienced staff, and have been very reliable. Other suppliers we have used provide their own preference of availability which often doesn't cover the Trust's requirements. Elective Services offer availability on a daily basis and weekends. They are also more able to respond quickly to the Trust's needs, whether that is increasing or decreasing the number of staff/scans as necessary, as they have a large pool of physiologists.
Comparison of providers on the SBS framework, shows that Elective Services are one of the lowest priced providers for the service required.
