Description of how these justifications apply

OpenView have previously provided installation and ongoing maintenance services across multiple CTMUHB sites under existing arrangements. The proposed works at Princess of Wales Hospital represent a continuation and expansion of those systems as part of CTMUHB’s broader estate security upgrade strategy.

Their previous appointments followed a competitive framework process (NHS SBS Lot 3), and the current works are consistent with the scope of those prior procurements. A direct award ensures continuity, compatibility with existing open-protocol systems, reduced operational disruption, and avoids the inefficiencies of introducing a new supplier where integration with existing infrastructure is critical.

This route delivers value for money and aligns with procurement regulations through use of an established framework agreement.
