Procurement Information

The DSCRO service can only be delivered by the Commissioning Support Units (CSUs) due to its powers provided to it through the Health and Social Care Act 2012. All CSUs are hosted by NHS England and historically CCGs have been appointed a CSU to deliver their DSCRO by NHS England. This means that the services are not typically competed and as there is a very limited market so competition is absent for technical reasons. Under these circumstances a direct award against the Public Contract Regulations 2015 for these services can be justified.
