Description

Provision of 150 Adastra licences and associated support to enable the support of Out of Hours/Unscheduled Care in COVID Hubs. The Adastra product is used almost exclusively across NHS Scotland Boards - under a number of contracts awarded by the individual Boards and some from a National Procurement framework, now expired. These contracts are used to manage unscheduled primary care and for reasons of compatibility, minimising clinical risk through the use of an established product in which Board staff are trained and familiar it was the only practicable solution.

Total Quantity or Scope

This is a directly awarded contract between the Authority on behalf of NHS Scotland to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic. This award has been approved for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority in line with Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Legal Justification

Extreme urgency was required in order that these licences could be deployed and appropriate COVID workflows could be developed by the supplier and deployed using those licences for use in Out of Hours/Unscheduled care hubs. These development activities had to be specified, implemented and deployed over the course of less than two working weeks from start to finish.
