Legal Justification

MFDs are intrinsically linked to the design and delivery of NHSS services in particular the physical facilities, buildings, sites and staffing; at this time due to post Covid recovery and unprecedented pressures on NHSS services these areas remain uncertain and subject to recovery, review and planning / strategy processes meaning the MFD requirement including volume and type of machines is at this time uncertain. Inflation in UK and globally remains high and unpredictable meaning future forecasts of pricing and supply chains are uncertain; the NHSS contract would for example require a period of fixed pricing that may not be viable for the supply chain and market to be able to support. As a result it is deemed that a tender could not be satisfactorily carried out and supported by the market and therefore a further 12 month extension is necessary. It is envisaged that during this period comprehensive supplier and market engagement can be carried out to inform the strategy with the tender process being commenced at the earliest opportunity.
