For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
This contract has been formally awarded and this notice is published as per the requirements of the PSR regulations for Direct Award Route A.
We determined that this service must be provided as locally to our catchment as possible because the patients eligible for this service are expected to have difficulty travelling. Our chosen provider has an ideal location to deliver the service to our catchment.
Our local research did not identify any other local providers with the capability to perform these scans or reports.
Our own in-house MRI unit (which is managed by a third party) is not able to offer this service and has given their agreement for us to source the capacity with another provider.
Our chosen provider was able to offer this service at NHS tariff prices and has met our internal requirements to award this contract.
