It has been identified that urgent action is required to ensure the needs of vulnerable residents can continue to be met and that the Council fulfils its statutory duties, including supporting hospital discharge, prevention of admission, end of life care and wider independence pathways. The Council has identified a provider to supply essential community equipment and to support the delivery of associated functions, including delivery, installation, repair, collection and peripheral store services. This follows the previous provider ceasing trading, which created immediate operational pressures and the need for rapid stabilisation of service capacity. This is a demand based service, and the expected value is determined by projected activity levels and the cost of goods and services supplied.

Officers have identified the need for urgent action to maintain the delivery of the Service and to ensure that vulnerable residents can continue to access the required provision. The need for urgent intervention has arisen following the previous provider ceasing trading, which created immediate operational pressures and a risk to continuity of statutory service. To ensure uninterrupted provision, the Council intends to directly award a contract to the identified supplier under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023. In relation to the urgency justification under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, this justification applies for the following reasons: * The goods and services to be supplied under the proposed contract are strictly necessary to ensure the Council complies with its statutory duties and maintains safe access to essential community equipment. * The situation has arisen due to unforeseeable events outside of the Council's control, requiring urgent measures to stabilise service capacity. * The urgency is unavoidable and was not attributable to any act or omission of the Council. * There is not sufficient time to carry out a competitive tendering procedure without creating unacceptable risks to the continuity of support for vulnerable residents. The need to ensure continuity of Services to vulnerable service users provides grounds to rely on this justification and directly award a contract to the identified supplier.", "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "complete", "suitability": { "sme": true } } ], "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": "conflictOfInterest", "description": "Not published" } ], "riskDetails": "National market fragility following the previous provider ceasing trading may impact supply chain stability and equipment availability High and fluctuating demand, including winter pressures and urgent hospital discharge needs, may increase operational pressure on delivery, installation, repairs and collections.
