Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: Under the Procurement Act 2023, there is provision of Direct Award which can be used for additional or repeat goods, services or works (including warranty and operational annual maintenance) from the same supplier where a contract has been awarded under a competitive tendering procedure. With this requirement being subject to tendering using the Procurement Act 2023 Open Competition Dialogue procedure, the Trust reserves the right to use the Direct Award procedure for subsequent procurements (using the UK5 Direct Award Procedure) after the initial period has lapsed above.
