- Published justification
The circumstances under regulation 32 of the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015 that are the most closely aligned to this direct award are that the existing provider is considered to be the only provider that can offer a continuity of service to patients for the extension period, without creating a significant operational risk and disruption to service whilst allowing the timescales for the national review of NHS 111 services which will drive the longer term vision and provision of NHS 111 services.
