Why no open competition
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification

The direct awards are being made under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) as NHS England believe that the following applies:

the Services can only be supplied by a particular provider as competition is absent for technical reasons for each individual HCC geography and the NHP;

there is no other reasonable alternative or substitute available for each individual HCC geography and the NHP; and

NHSE has not artificially narrowed the requirement in order to ensure only the current HCCs and NHP are capable.

The contract values included in this VEAT are genuine estimates. Indicative inflation has been applied for the next 6 years and averages have been included across each Lot. Exact contract value figures may differ slightly.
