- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
Previous tenders for cabinet installations in 2021 did not yield any alternative suppliers and Monmouth Scientific remains the only company, to our knowledge, who are capable of a whole project approach. Other companies are able to provide the cabinets only but are not able to complete the other necessary works needed to both safely remove existing cabinets and prepare the rooms for the new cabinets thereby necessitating sub-contracting the remaining elements to other companies which has the potential to cause significant disruption to the process and ultimately service provision.
- Review procedure
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of Public Health Wales NHS Trust will allow a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.
Unsuccessful tenderers and applicants are entitled to receive reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages of the winning bid and the reasons why the tenderer/applicant was unsuccessful.
Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1.
Aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the procurement rules have the right to take action in the High Court (England and Wales). Any such action is subject to strict time limits in accordance with the Public Contracts (Amendments) Regulations 2015
