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:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation:
The Health Board currently holds a contract for a wide range of stationery such as X-Ray Request Forms, Microbiology Specimen Bag and prescription forms. The contract delivers a desktop service for a large numbers of areas within the Health Board and the current provider holds the stationary within their warehouse for the wards and departments to call off in small batches due to space constraints.
Due to the volume of increased workload since the Covid-19 pandemic and competing priorities for patient care and treatment, the Health Board have been unable to fully scope a strategy delivery for print services which may include additional items and potentially expanded requirements. In order to complete a full specification scoping exercise within the organisation and issue a tender to the market for a long term contract, the Health Board wishes to award an interim one year contract to ensure continuity of supply and service.
Based on the above, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to awarding this contract.
