ADHD is a mental health disorder and patients will already be destabilised by the Covid-19 pandemic and it would be not within the interest of the patients to cause more anxiety by destabilising the incumbent provider, nor would it be deemed clinically good practice. The direct award enables recovery from the pandemic and stability for the patient's health conditions, with the intention of procuring the service in the future. The service contract shall be for a period of 18 months and will commence on the 1 September 2020.The contract value is estimated to be PS818,000.00 over the 18 month contract period.

A Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice was previously published to support this contract award - 2020/S 142-350894, detailing the following reasons for direct award: * A PIN as a call for competition was issued September 2019, four providers expressed interest and were invited through to the tender stage.

The procurement was aborted. * This service is deemed an essential service.The current circumstances within the healthcare environment, Covid-19, could negatively affect patients should change happen now.
