Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
The timescales set out within the Health & Growth Accelerator process did not allow enough time to conduct a full application of the PSR hence the urgent award process was adopted.<br/><br/>The reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and is not attributable to the ICB.<br/><br/>Delaying the award to conduct a full application of the PSR would be likely to pose a risk to patient safety.
