Cardiff and Vale University Health Board · 10 Sept 2026 · British Telecommunications LTD · Official notice
Rationale: Cardiff and Vale University Health Board requires a Cloud Connect service that integrates with the existing Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) network, which provides the core connectivity infrastructure for NHS Wales. BT is the designated provider of PSBA and its associated Cloud Connect services under the Welsh Government framework. As the service must be fully integrated with the existing PSBA environment, no alternative supplier can provide the required solution without significant technical and operational risks. Accordingly, BT is the only supplier capable of meeting the requirement, and the award is justified on the basis of absence of competition for technical reasons.

- Direct award715884522 - DOBUS Core Contract
Ministry of Defence · 10 Sept 2026 · Boxxe Limited · Official notice
Rationale: 1. Legal Basis This contract will be awarded in accordance with Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Direct Award in Special Cases), relying on Schedule 5, Paragraph 20. The Authority is satisfied that this is a defence authority contract and a defence and security contract within the meaning of Section 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. The requirement supports the maintenance and ongoing operation of Defence systems through the provision, assurance and distribution of security updates and patches and is considered to fall within Section 7(1)(c) as services necessary for the maintenance of military and/or sensitive equipment. The Authority is satisfied that direct award is necessary to maintain and enhance the operational capability, effectiveness, readiness, safety and security of the Armed Forces during the contract period. 2. Justification The Authority considers that continuation of the service is necessary to maintain operational effectiveness and support the ongoing management of cyber security risks. A sustained reduction in the service would increase operational risk and reduce the efficiency and resilience of Defence digital and information systems. The contract includes the continued sustainment and enhancement of the existing service to ensure it continues to meet Defence requirements. The Authority has therefore determined that a direct award is necessary and proportionate to maintain the operational effectiveness, resilience and security of this Defence capability while future requirements and procurement options are considered. DOBUS is a Defence cyber security service that supports the provision of software and firmware security updates across Defence systems and contributes to the security and resilience of Defence digital services. DOBUS supports the provision of software and firmware updates across Defence systems and contributes to the effective operation and resilience of Defence digital services. The Authority considers that continuation of the service is necessary to maintain operational effectiveness and ensure continuity of service delivery. This capability supports the ongoing management and distribution of software updates across the Defence estate and remains a critical component of wider Defence digital services. The current capability has been established within Defence infrastructure, processes and technical environments over an extended period. The Authority has identified significant interoperability, transition and delivery considerations associated with introducing alternative arrangements within the required timescales. Consequently, further work is required to assess future technical options, undertake market engagement and develop an informed approach to any future procurement activity. The contract includes sustainment and enhancement activities essential to support the continued operation and development of the service while this work is undertaken. The Authority has therefore determined that a direct award is necessary and proportionate to maintain service continuity and operational effectiveness whilst future requirements and procurement options are developed and assessed. In addition to the grounds relied upon under Schedule 5, Paragraph 20 and Section 7(1)(c) of the Procurement Act 2023, the Authority also considers that technical reasons support the direct award. The services are necessary for the maintenance and ongoing operation of military and sensitive equipment and systems. The capability is closely integrated within Defence technical environments and processes, and any disruption, compromise or unplanned transition would present risks to operational capability, service continuity and security. 3. Reasons for Duration The contract term of 3 years (01 Aug 2026 to 31 July 2029), with break points at the end of Years 1 and 2, represents the period required to maintain continuity of this cyber security capability whilst undertaking service sustainment activities, reviewing longer-term requirements, and assessing future procurement options. The contract duration balances operational necessity with the Authority's intention to consider future competitive procurement arrangements and longer-term capability requirements. 4. Future Procurement During the contract term, the Authority intends to undertake additional market engagement, technical assessment and option analysis to inform the long-term Enterprise Patching strategy. Subject to the outcome of this activity and future approvals, the Authority may undertake a future competitive procurement for the enduring capability.

Northern Health and Social Care Trust · 10 Sept 2026 · SCIENSUS PHARMA SERVICES LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: Single supplier - technical reasons Section 41 schedule 5(6) of the PA2023 permits a direct award if the following conditions are met in relation to the public contract: (a)due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The Northern Health and Social Care Trust requires the purchase of Secukinumab which is subject to patent protection / Sole MA Holder and consequently no reasonable alternative of substitute exists. These essential medicines are required from this supplier to ensure continuity of patient care, specifically for homecare support. The absence of competition is not the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.

- Direct awardRecruitment of up to 13 FTE Locum Social Workers
Suffolk County Council · 10 Sept 2026 · LEADERS IN CARE RECRUITMENT LIMITED · Official notice
Rationale: The IFD/MASH is holding a number of vacancies and is unable to meet its statutory deadlines for referral and assessment. The locum social workers are required as an interim arrangement whilst permanent recruitment for the positions is completed as part of the Family First model. It has not been possible to recruit the volume and quality of staff required through our internal recruitment partners, and running a competitive tender procedure would jeopardise our ability to perform at the statutory level required in a timely manner.
- Direct awardUK5The Provision of Helicopter Under Slung Load Equipment (HUSLE) and Cargo Nets including PDS Support
Defence Equipment and Support · 10 Sept 2026 · AmSafe Bridport Limited · Official notice
Rationale: The National Armaments Director Group (NADG), part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), intends to amend Contract 701555457 with Amsafe Bridport Limited for the provision of Helicopter Under Slung Load Equipment (HUSLE), Airdrop Cargo Nets and associated Post Design Services (PDS) and the provision of Cargo Nets. In accordance with Provision 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 It is considered that the amendment of the contract without prior publication of a tender notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Schedule 5, para 6 of the Procurement Act 2023 due to the absence of viable alternatives for technical reasons. This amendment enables further procurement of Airdrop Cargo Nets and associated equipment to maintain operational readiness. Airdrop Cargo Nets are an essential component of the Maritime Modular Platform (MMP), Supply Platform Aerial Delivery (SPAD), Light Stores (LS) and Container Delivery System (CDS), directly supporting Front Line Command operational requirements. These systems collectively deliver four major UK capabilities that: Small Boats Aerial Delivery, Maritime Resupply, Land Resupply, and Humanitarian Aid. This amendment also covers Post Design Services (PDS) activity, including review and reissue of airworthiness documentation required to sustain the equipment through to Contract Expiry in June 2027. The current contract duration will remain the same. This planned Amendment will increase the Contract value by £1,344,800.00 excluding VAT from the current Contract value of £17,429,584.00 (seventeen million, four hundred and twenty nine thousand, five hundred and eighty four GBP) to a Total Contract value of £18,774,384.00 (eighteen million, seven hundred and seventy four thousand, three hundred and eighty four GBP) excluding VAT. It is considered that this Contract Amendment can be placed using the Direct Award procedure without prior publication of a tender notice pursuant to Schedule 5, para 6 of the Procurement Act 2023 on the basis that there is an absence of viable alternative suppliers for technical reasons meaning any Contract for this requirement may be awarded only to Amsafe Bridport Limited. Amsafe Bridport Limited was originally selected as the supplier for Airdrop Cargo Nets and HUSLE following a competitive procurement process. The original requirement was advertised at a value of between £12,000,000.00 and £20,000,000.00 excluding VAT. Amsafe Bridport Limited are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Design Organisation (DO) for the Airdrop Cargo Nets and HUSLE supplied under this Contract. As a result, this company alone holds the requisite proprietary design data, manufacturing expertise, and qualification evidence necessary to produce items that meet the required military airworthiness and safety standards. Introducing an alternative supplier would necessitate extensive requalification activity, which would adversely affect operational readiness and the Authority's ability to meet urgent Aerial Delivery requirements. Awarding this amendment to any other organisation would therefore pose unacceptable safety and operational risks. The MOD is currently formulating it’s longer term strategy and will look to engage with the market to explore potential options for a future competition. You must not take this announcement to mean confirmation that MOD shall award a contract amendment for this requirement. The MOD is publishing this announcement without any commitment to issue a tender or place a contract. Accordingly, any expenditure, work or effort undertaken before contract award is a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers or sub-contractors. Announcements may also be published on the Defence Sourcing Portal, or the Find a Tender service, as appropriate.
