IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason: absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation
There was no prior call for competition as this contract could only be awarded to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). If this contract was awarded to a different supplier then, the safety of the devices may be compromised, the warranty on all equipment would become void and the Health Board may no longer be complying with all necessary regulations.
Therefore it was decided to direct award this contract via the NHS Supply Chain framework, Maintenance, Repair and Calibration of Medical Equipment (2021/S000-021535)
