This contract award is required due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent impact upon operational delivery and business operations. The current pandemic and events were not expected or foreseen by the Contracting Authority. Attempts to mitigate risks identified in advance of procurement were undertaken. There was an urgent need to enact this STA as current contracts came to an end on 31 March 2021 and there was a need to ensure services are maintained for the patients’ needs.
