Published justification

PSR Direct Award – Option C<br/><br/>As of the 1st January 2024 the selection process to identify and award contracts to Providers<br/>of healthcare services has been removed from the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and are<br/>now part of the new Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This report is to seek approval to<br/>award a contract under the PSR procedures. The PSR process provides greater flexibility<br/>than the traditional procurement procedures through a number of routes to award contracts<br/>including Direct Awards. Whilst the PSR does offer greater flexibility ESNEFT’s default<br/>starting position for the selection of a Provider and award of contracts under PSR is<br/>competition and Value for Money.<br/>Service Outline and History<br/>Our current contract with GPPC is due to expire on 30 September 2026. Following strategic<br/>discussions, ESNEFT has confirmed its intention to bring the Acute Phlebotomy service in<br/>house. To ensure a safe and well-managed transition, we are proposing a six-month Direct<br/>Award under PSR option C.
