- Why no open competition
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority/entity and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
Notice of immediate CQC cancellation of registration meant there was 6 hours to mobilise caretaking arrangement. Most suitable provider, and to minimise disruption to services, was another practice co-located in the same building. The Urgent Contract award was made under regulation 14 i.e. contract had to be awarded rapidly due to unforeseeable circumstances not attributable to the ICB. Failure to act immediately would have posed an immediate risk to patient safety.
Publisher note: This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. Reason why the urgent circumstances provision was applied: Delaying the award to conduct a full application of the PSR would be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety.
