Section IV: Procedure
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:
No tenders or no suitable tenders/requests to participate in response to open procedure
Explanation
NHS Hastings and Rother Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) conducted an “Open” procedure for the services (reference of OJEU Contract Notice S: 2018/S 093-211863) but was not able to secure a suitable solution and service provider for this service to the areas of Rother and Hastings.
As a service provider is required by national mandate to commence delivery of services to patients on 1.10.2018, the CCG considered it necessary to offer an interim contract for a period of 1 year (with an option to extend for up to a further 1 year) and follow a further process with bidders to secure the services. This successfully resulted in the issue of this Contract Award Notice.
In the meantime, the CCG will commence consideration for and preparations of undertaking a full competitive tender exercise for a longer term contract.
