The Director of Public Health authorised the
Consultant in Public Health to enter into a 12 month contractual
agreement with Leeds Community Healthcare (LCH) to continue
delivery of the Blood Pressure Wise programme without entering into
a competitive tender process due to the unique delivery model
(undertaken within the pilot) and clinical pathway in place. The
contract shall commence on 1st April 2021 for the total sum up to a
value of £40.000.00
This decision is guided by the relevant extract from the Contracts
Procedure Rules (CPRs) as below-
8.3 Where the relevant Chief Officer considers there is genuinely
no competition such that only a particular organisation or provider
can meet the Council’s specific requirements (e.g. when
commissioning a unique product or service) a waiver of CPRs 8.1 and
8.2 need not be obtained. However, the lack of competition must be
formally evidenced in writing and approved by the relevant Chief
Officer as part of a Delegated Decision before the contract is
entered into.
