Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
The service relates to health care and the importance that good oral health plays on admissions to hospital for older people. The service prevents admissions to hospital for pneumonia, falls, malnourishment dehydration, sepsis and urinary tract infections and the lengths of hospital admissions by ensuring good oral health care is provided.
I am seeking to award to an existing provider for health care services, whose contract extension is ending. The proposed delivery arrangements will not change, and I am satisfied that the provider will continue to deliver the service to a high standard. On this basis I would like to request a direct award using process C.
