## Summary

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process to directly award a contract for the provision of clinical waste collection and disposal services. This tender falls under the services category and pertains to healthcare waste management within 150 GP practices and various pharmacy branches in the Norfolk and Waveney region, UKH1. The procurement stage involved an urgent direct award due to necessity, with the contract starting on 1st April 2025 and initially set to run until 31st July 2025, with an option for monthly extensions up to a maximum of 12 months. The awarded contract, valued at £279,111 gross, was challenged, requiring a temporary agreement to ensure service continuity.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare and waste management services. Large enterprises with capabilities in handling clinical waste would be well-suited to execute such contracts, ensuring compliance with stringent health regulations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may also find prospects in specialized lots catering to their strengths. The NHS's reliance on the urgency provision for this direct award highlights the need for reliable, efficient service providers who can manage critical health services without interruption.

### Procurement Information

The ICB are relying on the urgency provision in paragraph 13 of Schedule 5 to the Procurement Act 2023 permitting a direct award on the basis that the services to be supplied under the public contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and as a result the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure. A procurement process has been undertaken and the award decision has been challenged. This has prevented final award and therefore requires a short term contract with the existing provider to ensure that there is a continuation of vital services for primary care settings (GP's and Pharmacy) whilst this challenge is resolved. The Authority believes competition is absent for the technical reasons outlined above.
