Norfolk County Council, North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group, Norwich Clinical Commissioning Group, South Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group and West Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group entered into a Section 75 contract to let a single contract for the provision of a speech and language service for 0-19 year old, to cover Norfolk.

II.2.14) Additional information
The quality and cost weightings above applied to the original procurement.

It is not possible for technical reasons to compete the additional monies and to do so would result in substantial cost to the Council.

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
