The basic principles that mirror that of the Open Procurement route will be followed for this procurement to test the capacity, capability and technical competence of tenderers in accordance with The Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended). Regulation 120 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provides for a temporary exemption and saving for certain NHS procurements.
