The Trust intends to continue to subcontract the following services from WUTH under a single NHS Standard Subcontract: • Cardiology Consultant Service • Wheelchair Consultant Service • DVT Ultrasound Service • Laboratory Service • Chaplaincy Service • Pharmacy Supplies Service Lot 1: Not all services are in scope however both requirements are met for a mixed procurement under PSR Evidence to support a mixed procurement: Contracts to deliver health care services may contain multiple elements, some of which are health care services clearly within the scope of the PSR, and some of which, if procured alone, would be within the scope of the wider public procurement regulations. The PSR must not be used for the procurement of goods or non-health care services alone. The PSR regulations state that when a contract comprises a mixture of in-scope health care services and out-of-scope services or goods, relevant authorities may only use the PSR to arrange those services when both of the below requirements are satisfied: 1) The main subject-matter of the contract is in-scope health care services The main subject-matter of the contract is determined by the component that is higher - the estimated lifetime value of the health care services or the estimated lifetime value of the other goods or services. The requirement is satisfied as the in-scope elements of the contract account for 74.8% of the contract values for 2024/25. Annual Value is £238,768 for April 24 to March 25
