Direct award justification

Single supplier - technical reasons

Limbs and Things are the only supplier who produce the mannequins required for the bespoke maternity training programme (Initial Clinical Training for Avoiding Brain Injuries in Childbirth). This training (under BC 26922) is being delivered by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). The RCOG are a nationally and internationally recognised leader in women's healthcare. They were a key partner in developing and delivering the pilot training and know how to integrate these specific mannequins into the training. The mannequins form a large part of the training, and without them the training would not be effective.
