Why no open competition: The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
Published justification: The Service falls within Schedule 3 (‘social and other specific services’, also known as the “Light Touch” Regime) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) as amended by The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (‘PPAR 2020’).
The Authority is currently in a transitional period with the expectation to be superseded as a statutory body, by an Integrated Care Board in late 2022. The organisation shall have a key function as part of the overall Integrated Care System. At the current time, longer-term strategies across all sectors are under discussion and longer term commissioning decisions and or procurements cannot take place until these legal arrangements are confirmed.
The Authority has therefore taken a decision to award a contract to the incumbent provider as it is considered to be the most technically capable provider in the current environment, whilst transitioning to the ICB, to ensure quality, safety and consistency in provision of care that meet the needs of the population during this transition period.
