- Why no open competition
- Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
The NHSE PET contract has PETNET as the primary supplier for PET FDG doses. The
department does not run separate lists for PP and NHS patients, therefore a
separate supply contract for PP patients would require staff to be swapping vials
each time the patient category changed. This is a risk to safety for two reasons:
- Patient Safety – changing vials between patients could potentially lead to
the patients being injected with the incorrect vial.
- Staff safety – due to the limitations of the space, staff would need to swap
vials between patients which would increase their exposure to radiation as
there is not space to load two supplier vials simultaneously. Furthermore,
the workspace is not sufficient to house the additional packaging which
would result from having multiple suppliers and would be a trip hazard in an
already difficult working environment. The cost to expand the department would be significant and therefore would not be of Financial benefit to the Trust.
