- Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
- Published justification
Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement. A direct award aligns with Schedule 5, paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023.
The direct award to the incumbent supplier is justified on grounds of ensuring continuity of services which are intended as an extension to existing services in circumstances where a) a change in supplier would result in EMR receiving goods and services that are different from, or incompatible with, existing goods and services and b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
