No-engagement rationaleNot published |
Procedure rationaleThe justification is set out below why the Trust chose to use the most suitable provider process without competition<br/><br/>• Existing part of the model being procured already supported by this provider, well embedded and working to deliver the required KPI/performance, risk to destabilisation if moving to a different provider.<br/>• Limited provider with specific palliative care staff mean the direct award pool is small and other known providers reengaged and this is not part of their strategy or business model so were not intending to bid should we have gone to direct award<br/>• This is the only provider whom would be able to embark in a social value/co-funded offer of a pump primed initiative- making them the most value for money provider we have evaluated what this would cost to do ourselves and it would be more expensive<br/>• This is a service we will be evaluating and future contract award on the basis of this three year ‘partnership/pilot’<br/>• Given section 29a need to implement at pace and working with a provider able to implement in one month reduces harm to patients<br/>• Social value- local employer, and contributing to wider benefits on evaluation to share with others, training and education |
