(asked on 28th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which NHS rules and guidance allowed for the tendering of the Liverpool community health services contract previously run by Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust; what the legal framework is for the operation of that procurement process; and what the stages are of that procurement process.
This question was answered on 5th April 2017
The legal framework is contained in directions from the Secretary of State to the NHS Trust Development Authority. The procurement process did not trigger the Public Contract Regulations and it was instead structured as a provider to provider transaction.
