    "description": "This contract has been awarded under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. An award under urgent circumstance was necessary due to the need for NHSBT to make urgent changes to increase the supply of corneal tissue. A delay in the award of this contract would likely result in continued tissue shortage and resulting excess patient waits for access to potentially sight saving surgery. This urgent circumstance award means that investment plans can be built in to a contract for the required increase corneal tissue supply and that the required financial adjustments could be made within ICB allocations. The contract length is greater than 12 months as the requirement to increase corneal supply extends beyond a year given the lead in time to establish the eye retrieval services and current clinical demand / donated tissue supply. The contract also facilitates national strategic planning between NHS England and NHSBT for the provision of corneal tissue. The decision was approved on 26th March 2024 by the Delegated Commissioning Group (DCG). No conflicts of interest were identified.",
