NHS Highland · 16 Sept 2026 · Inverness College UHI · Official notice
Rationale: A tendering process would not be immediately feasible owing to the current joint working of the library services with NHS Highland and potential transfer of the stock of printed material. The intention is to move from the current service level agreement to a partnership agreement of joint provision of library services between NHS Highland and UHI. If agreement can be secured for that joint provision, it would be able to be put in place during the term of the extended contract. A separate and much smaller library service run by NHS Highland exists in Oban.

- Direct awardOffender Monitoring Tags
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey · 16 Sept 2026 · BUDDI LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: Buddi Tags are already deployed and operational across both Surrey and Sussex Police, forming an established part of current service delivery. Awarding a contract directly to the existing provider will ensure continuity of service and avoid significant operational disruption. A change of supplier would require the replacement of all tags currently in use, creating logistical and operational challenges associated with retrieving, reissuing, and configuring new devices. This would place an additional burden on operational teams, increase the risk of interruption to monitoring activities, and could adversely impact service users during the transition period. The direct award therefore provides a proportionate and pragmatic solution that maintains business continuity, preserves the effectiveness of an established service, and avoids the operational risks and costs associated with replacing equipment that is already deployed and functioning effectively.

- Direct awardUK5BNSSG Neighbourhood Health Development Fund Delivery
NHS BRISTOL, NORTH SOMERSET AND SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE INTEGRATED CARE BOARD · 15 Sept 2026 · ONE CARE (BNSSG) C.I.C · Official notice
Rationale: BNSSG ICB has held £7.9 million previously allocated to the discontinued Integrated Care at Home procurement. In December 2025, the Executive Team agreed that the resource should instead support partners to design, test and prepare for neighbourhood delivery, following concerns about provider maturity and market readiness. A three-phase, provider-led and system-supported process was coordinated through the Neighbourhood Health Programme Group, with the System Executive Group acting as programme board. The Direct Award Justification under schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 is: The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where- (a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited · 15 Sept 2026 · Legendre UK Limited · Official notice
Rationale: Following insolvency of 4Square, Legendre were appointed under a separate contract for urgent H&S works relating to the extent of defects and site condition. Following informal market engagement, the range of the contractors we can work with expressed little appetite for a remedial project or did not have sufficient experience in remediation of LSF systems. Legendre, who were already in situ (ie H&S Works) have demonstrated examples of similar remediation projects and considering the destressed nature of the scheme it was considered viable to continue with a direct award.
