Procurement Information
Termination of the existing Public Health Medicines Service contract is required due to significant and unforeseen structural changes, resulting in the imminent loss of service provision by the supplier. The loss of pharmaceutical expertise presents a risk to continuity, legality, and patient safety, and continued reliance on the current provider is therefore not viable or proportionate and a Direct Award is essential to maintain continuity of service. Sufficient time was not available for alternative arrangements via competition. The urgent Direct Award is for a short time period, until new arrangements are put in to place.
