Direct award
Direct award justification
Additional or repeat goods, services or works - further goods, services or works following a competitive procedure
OpenView have previously provided installation and ongoing maintenance services across multiple CTMUHB sites under existing arrangements. The proposed works at Princess of Wales Hospital represent a continuation and expansion of those systems as part of CTMUHB's broader estate security upgrade strategy.
Their previous appointments followed a competitive framework process (NHS SBS Lot 3), and the current works are consistent with the scope of those prior procurements. A direct award ensures continuity, compatibility with existing open-protocol systems, reduced operational disruption, and avoids the inefficiencies of introducing a new supplier where integration with existing infrastructure is critical.
This route delivers value for money and aligns with procurement regulations through use of an established framework agreement.
