Legal basis: Other
Accelerated procedure:
The accelerated procedure is justified due to the urgent need to maintain uninterrupted patient textile services in an acute hospital environment. Any service gap would pose risks to infection control and patient safety. As the estimated contract value is below the relevant EU threshold, the accelerated timetable is proportionate and appropriate to secure a six-month interim arrangement while a full procurement is progressed.
