- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
The contract is for the storage and maintenance of the Products following tenders published in the Official Journal of the European Union . The Authority has made a direct award under Regulation 32 (2) b (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, on the basis that competition for the Products being procured is absent for technical reasons because no reasonable alternative or substitute is available for use with the branded machines for which the Products are being procured.
Publisher note: Information on contract value is being withheld due to commercial sensitivity under Regulation 50(6)(b) and (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, as the publication of the price may enable competitors to calculate cost per vial of the products being stockpiled. This would: (i) commercially prejudice the contracting authority in its commercial dealings with other suppliers; and (ii) impact fair competition between suppliers.<br/><br/>The Contract is for the benefit of the Authority and NHS bodies along with any other non-NHS bodies which are necessary for the delivery of Products to NHS bodies , local authorities, other government departments and their executive agencies or non- departmental public bodies charged with the delivery of healthcare or health related services in the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories including, without limitation, the National Assembly for Wales, the Northern Ireland Assembly, and Scottish Ministers. The resulting Products delivered against the contract may be made available to the UK devolved administrations, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.
