Lot Information
Lot 1
Provision of a PET Scanning service primarily for patients in SE Wales. Service must be provided from the vicinity of Cardiff. NHS Wales is seeking to commission PET scans only.
Procurement Information
The Authority has a well-established service for the provision of PET-CT scans through existing infrastructure within the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. The infrastructure includes the co-location of a radioisotope production facility which, given the UK shortage in radiopharmaceutical availability, would impact service delivery significantly if production were disrupted, this would have an adverse impact on patient care because the cyclotron is used to make the radioisotopes that are used for the medical imaging and research. Once the radioisotope is produced, there is a very short period whereby it can be synthesized and injected into the patient requiring the cyclotron to be very close to the PET-CT scanner. The existing PET-CT scanning infrastructure includes patient radioisotope uptake rooms for administering sedation or anaesthetic to patients prior to scanning procedures and recovery facilities which would be complex to replicate - these must be in close proximity to the PET-CT scanner. NHS Wales needs to maintain the requirement to develop new radioisotopes which the existing facility enables, failure to maintain this would have an adverse impact on targeting the pace of new innovative developments. The University of Wales Hospital site critically provides clinical and allied health professional services which are essential to the delivery of the PET-CT service to NHS Wales patients. The technical complications of replicating the existing services and infrastructure would be significantly complex, costly and could impact on patient treatment and safety. In addition, the research aspect of NHS Wales working with the University is a key feature of improving PET-CT services and patient pathways. Clinical demand for PET-CT scanning continues to rise with the commissioning of new clinical indications. Commissioning policy for PET scanning services is reliant upon an evidence based approach, the existing service arrangements ensures this approach is maintained and accelerated in the interests of patient care. The service can only realistically be provided within the immediate vicinity of the patient population it serves. The Contracting Authority considers that it is able to rely upon regulation 32 2 (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (and Article 32 (2)( b) (ii) of Directive 2014/24/EU) "...competition is absent for technical reasons" as the basis for undertaking a negotiated procedure without competition.
