Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB are extending this service until 31st March 2026 with the option to extend for a further 24 months.
NHS Suffolk and North East Essex ICB have deemed that the incumbent provider is the only technically capable provider to deliver this service and the award of this contract will allow for specialist service provision and continuity of service.
There are no other providers within the system who deliver blue light services and secondary mental health provision within the system to deliver this outcome and with the relationships already been built there is benefit to be gained from maintaining continuity with the current service provision.
The ICB therefore deems that award of this contract offers the most competitive and best value proposal and supports continued delivery of a key admission avoidance service.
