No alternative supplier can meet the technical specifications, integration requirements, and operational standards without significant risk to patient care and service continuity.\nChanging supplier would require revalidation of products, system integration checks, and clinical sign-off, which would introduce delays and operational risk. Therefore, a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 is justified to maintain service continuity and patient safety.",
