Procurement Information

WBS intended to run a new competition for this requirement during 2020 and for a new agreement to commence with a 'go live' service date during 2022. The running of the competitive exercise was significantly delayed due to the resources within the WBS being redirected to support the NHS Wales response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Authority therefore needs to replan this competition and intends to publish a Prior Information Notice (PIN) during the autumn of 2022 to commence the process. To ensure contractual arrangements remain in place to maintain the continuity of this critical service, the Authority intends to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with the use of Public Contract Regulations 2015 32 (2)(b)(ii) and (iii), competition is absent for technical reasons and (2)(b)(iii) - the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.
