The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
County Community Hospital, Invergordon, provides care close to patients’ own community. Continuity of care and timely access to medical support are important to the delivery of this service.
Medical support to Suttor Ward is provided by appropriately qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioners, with GP support where required. Due to the hospital’s location and the need for timely ward attendance, Tain & District Medical Group is the only medical practice within the relevant geographical area identified as having the capacity and clinical resources to meet the requirement. No reasonable alternative provider or substitute delivery model has been identified. NHS Highland therefore proposes to award the contract directly to Tain & District Medical Group.
