The intention is to continue to work with the existing provider to provide Community Contraception services and there is an existing contract which was about to expire. The direct award would ensure sustainability of a high quality service with a provider with a proven track record of delivery. It would also ensure that local residents continued to have direct access to this service within the borough. Non competitive market for highly specialised services with very limited provider base.
