This decision is justified under Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023, which allows for direct award where:\n\"(a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works\"\nRationale:\n\u2022\tBUPA is the incumbent provider of the authority\u0027s group health insurance scheme.\n\u2022\tThe MHD policy ensures continuity of care for employees with pre-existing conditions, which would be jeopardised by switching providers.\n\u2022\tTransitioning to a new insurer would require re-underwriting or moratorium-based policies, potentially excluding coverage for existing conditions and causing disruption to employee health benefits.\n\u2022\tThe authority has assessed the market and determined that no alternative provider can offer equivalent continuity and coverage without significant risk to employee welfare.\nThis direct award is made in compliance with Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023.",
