- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
WBS intended to run a new competition for this requirement during 2020 and for a new agreement to commence with a ‘go live’ service date during 2022. The running of the competitive exercise was significantly delayed due to the resources within the WBS being redirected to support the NHS Wales response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Authority therefore needs to replan this competition and intends to publish a Prior Information Notice (PIN) during the autumn of 2022 to commence the process.
To ensure contractual arrangements remain in place to maintain the continuity of this critical service, the Authority intends to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with the use of Public Contract Regulations 2015 32 (2)(b)(ii) and (iii), competition is absent for technical reasons and (2)(b)(iii) - the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.
- Review procedure
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of Welsh Blood Service – being a division of Velindre University NHS Trust, will apply a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.
Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1). Aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the procurement rules have the right to take action in the High Court (England and Wales). Any such action is subject to strict time limits in accordance with the Public Contracts(Amendments).
Publisher note: The Authority intends to award an agreement to MAK-System for a period of up to 2 years, plus an option to extend for a further period of up to 12 months for the reasons provided in this notice. Should this extension need to be executed, it will be conditionally upon the Authority having run the new procurement and be in the implementation stage of the new agreement. It is also the intention of the Authority to publish a new Prior Information Notice for a new competition in the autumn of 2022. (WA Ref:120596)
