5.
In compliance with the
Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the contracts listed in Table 1
are awarded without prior publication under Regulation 32(b)(ii)
competition is absent for technical reasons. The justification for
this is because extensive market engagement and testing has been
undertaken as part of the re-procurement process which has tested
the market and the interest in these contracts. Six market
engagement events were undertaken plus a PIN and Contracts Finder
Future Opportunity Notice about the upcoming opportunities. No
alternative providers were identified as part of this process in
relation to the current contracts as they are now. The
contracts have been identified as needing a complete service
redesign to incorporate enough flexibility to deliver outcome-based
services in order to be attractive to the wider market. This
will be addressed in the re-procurement.
