Procedure rationaleUser choice contract
User Choice Contract - Taken from PA23:
15. The public contract is a contract for the supply of user choice services and the conditions in paragraph 17 are met.
16. In paragraph 15, "user choice services" means services-
(a)that are of a kind specified in regulations under section 9 (light touch contracts),
(b)that are supplied for the benefit of a particular individual, and
(c)in respect of which a contracting authority would, in awarding a contract for their supply, be required under an enactment to have regard to the views of the individual, or a person providing care to the individual (their "carer"), in relation to who should supply the services.
17. The conditions are that-
(a)the individual to whom the services are to be supplied or their carer has expressed a preference as to who should supply the services, or the nature of the services to be supplied is such that only one supplier is capable of providing them, and
(b)the contracting authority considers that it is not in the best interests of the individual to award the contract under section 19 |
