Procedure rationaleThe previous provider was awarded the contract via a competitive procurement process. Subsequently, the awarded provider has been unable to fulfil its contractual obligations and informed the ICB that they would like to discontinue with the contract. This is an emergency requirement which is not attributable to, or foreseeable by, the Contracting Authority. It is not practicable to undertake a procurement exercise to appoint a new provider as the timescales associated with this would mean that the ICB would not be able to meet its statutory audit obligations to deliver the 2023/24 Head of Internal Audit Opinion.
