Legal Justification

The Trust was served notice by the original provider. Despite undertaking a thorough market engagement process, the Trust was unable to identify an alternative provider initially willing to take on the subcontract. This posed a significant risk to the continuity of patient care. Upon identifying a suitable provider, it became imperative to expedite the subcontracting process and initiate mobilisation without delay. This urgency was essential to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality, safe care to patients within the spinal injuries unit.
