Award Detail

CPV Codes

• 33696200 - Blood-testing reagents

Legal Justification

The contract with Abbott Laboratories Ltd ended on 30th September 2021. A 12 month agreement was sought to allow sufficient time for NWSSP Procurement Services to undertake a competitive procurement however, due to various factors it has not been possible to complete this therefore an additional 6 months plus 6 months extension period has been sought. The Health Board cannot find a Public Sector Framework with which to engage with Abbott Laboratories Ltd at this time and therefore, there is no opportunity to make a compliant direct award. For the reasons outlined above and to ensure continuity of service for patient care, the Health Board has no option but to enter into a 12-month agreement without any formal underpinning Framework arrangement.
