Community Health Services: Liverpool
(asked on 28th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, under which NHS rules the process which awarded Bridgewater NHS Trust the contract to deliver Liverpool Community services was run; and what the legal framework was underpinning that decision-making 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.
