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:
No other reasonable alternative or substitute exists for this procurement as the technology is bespoke to Accuscience. This is an interim arrangement as a regional tender for blood tracking (BPAT) has been awarded and implementation is in the early stages. To replace these haemobanks in the interim would require significant infrastructure, validation and ICT works that would impact on patient care and service delivery. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.
