Type of procedure. Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations Explanation: The COVID-19 outbreak is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern as declared by the World Health Organisation on 30 January 2020. The WHO Director General characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The use of ventilator equipment is critical in treating patients with COVID-19 to take over the body’s breathing process when the disease has caused the lungs to fail and allow the patient time to fight off the infection and recover. In March the NHS across the UK had access to approximately 8,000 ventilators. Modelling based the trajectory of other European countries forecast the need for significant and extremely rapid increase in the UK ventilator capacity. The Prime Minister set the ambition on 16 March 2020 for industry to manufacture as many new ventilators as possible, recognising that coronavirus is the biggest threat this country had seen for decades and that we faced a moment of national emergency. Significant quantities of extra ventilators would be required to treat seriously ill patients during the first wave of infections. Similar shortfalls in ventilator stocks were identified globally. Pressure to increase manufacturing capacity of ventilators was immense, requiring novel designs and new supply chains to be rapidly created to meet that demand. In these circumstances a procurement following the usual timescales under the PCR 2015, including accelerated options, was impossible. Ventilator manufacturers and supply chains were under immediate and unprecedented global pressure to provide products. A delay in engaging with the market by running a usual procurement process ran the risk of failing to acquire the necessary stock of ventilator equipment and presenting a significant risk to life. Cabinet Office is satisfied the tests permitting use of the Negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(c)) are met:
