What is being bought
This DAC is to provide Occupational Health Services to the Department. There are resourcing issues and the state of the labour market were unforseen and unattributable to the Department. There are capacity issues in this area, competition for resources in both the private and public sector and the Dept must act quickly to secure. The Department is considering longer term solutions including employment but services must be covered in the interim. These are urgent, critical services. There is no option to do nothing.

Procedure rationaleThe provider is an established and experienced occupational health service provider, and they have confirmed that they can deliver a range of occupational health services to assist the NICS. The ability to procure these services to support OHS activities will safeguard the delivery of occupational health services, assist in the use of limited OHS resource, and proved an opportunity to consider and implement longer term solutions to the challenges being faced Given the possible impact of these challenges on the NICS and the requirement to address the situation urgently, approval is being sought to procure these services through a Direct Award Contract (DAC) as an interim arrangement while longer term solutions are implemented. Under Regulation 32 of PCR 2015, there are derogations to award a contract to a single supplier where the supplies or services can only be supplied by a particular supplier. In this case specifically applying the derogation under Regulation 32(2)(c) whereby it is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with.
