For the Assistant Director for Commercial and
Operations to approve the implementation of Contract Standing Order
9.07. 1© and award a contract for Toxicology in the North
London Coroners jurisdiction to Sheffield NHS Trust for a period of
3 years form 5th May 2017 to 4th May 2020, at a cost of
£61,000 pa or £183,367 for 3 years. In order to take
account of any increase in the number of Post Mortems during
contract period it is further proposed that a contingency of up to
25% is made taking the maximum contract value up to
£229209.
Following evaluation of submitted bids in line
with the evaluation criteria outlined in the instructions to
Tender, Sheffield NHS Trust provided the Most Economically
Advantageous Tender.
Two other options were considered and
rejected:
1. Extension: the extension clause on the current contract has been
used and in the light of good governance we cannot extend any
further.
2. Do nothing: the council is statutorily required to provide this
service. The current contract runs out in May and anew one has to
be in place.
