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:
Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the Directive
Explanation
The time limits associated with open, restricted or competitive procedures could not be met in time to avoid delaying implementation of the required support and adversely affecting delivery of elective care recovery objectives. NHS Grampian considered available procurement routes and concluded that no suitable framework or existing call off arrangement was available that could meet the Board's requirements within the required timescales. The appointment represents a temporary and proportionate measure that is strictly necessary to address immediate operational pressures. Any potential future requirement will be tendered, providing other suppliers with the opportunity to compete.
