Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: The award of this contract without prior publication is lawful because it is being conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, following Direct Award Process C. Under Regulation 6, a relevant authority may directly award a contract to an existing provider where the authority is satisfied that: the existing provider is satisfying the original contract, and the provider is likely to satisfy the proposed new contract to a sufficient standard, and the proposed contracting arrangements are not changing considerably from the existing contract.
A Direct Award C assessment confirmed that these conditions are met for this service. The existing provider is delivering the current contract to the required standard, continues to meet the key criteria set out in the Regulations, and the proposed new contract does not involve considerable change in scope, service model or value.
Because the statutory conditions for Direct Award Process C have been satisfied, the Provider Selection Regime does not require a competitive tender or prior transparency notice. The provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This notice is therefore published as an Intention to Award in accordance with the PSR requirements.

Publisher note: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Confirmation of Award notice, published under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This notice confirms the formal award of the contract following the publication of an Intention to Award notice and completion of the required standstill period. The decision to award the contract was taken by authorised officers of the London Borough of Islington in accordance with the Council's Scheme of Delegation and governance arrangements. No actual or potential conflicts of interest were declared.
