Notice Title
Supply of Colchicine
Notice Description
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has awarded a contract for the supply of Colchicine for Covid-19.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Department of Health and Social Care conducted a negotiated procedure without prior publication under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) for the supply of Colchicine 500mcg tablets. The contract period expires on 12 April 2021.
Options: Option to extend for a further one month from contract expiry date.
Procurement Information
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) gave rise to an extremely urgent need for the Authority to purchase a quantity of Colchicine because the Authority needs to be in a position to treat the population as required such that did not give the Authority sufficient time to comply with the standard Open Procedure time scales for this procurement. Accordingly, the Authority used the negotiated procedure without prior publication - Regulation 32(2)(c) - Extreme Urgency Route (i.e. direct award) permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) to conduct this procurement. It was imperative to maintain security of supply for public health purposes in the face of high global demand. In these circumstances, a procurement following the usual timescales under the PCR 2015, including accelerated options, was not feasible in order for the DHSC to secure the urgent supply of the Colchicine.
