Ground given for limiting competition

The buyer’s own stated reason for awarding without open competition, as published. Their assertion, not a finding.

This contract relates to the spot purchasing of adult social care services to meet an identified individual's assessed care and support needs. The placement has been commissioned following assessment in accordance with the Care Act 2014 and is intended to deliver appropriate care, support, supervision and wellbeing outcomes tailored to the person's individual requirements. The contract has been awarded as a user choice contract. The provider has been identified as suitable to meet the individual's assessed needs and preferred support arrangements. A competitive tendering procedure would not be appropriate as the placement is commissioned to meet the specific requirements of an individual receiving care and support services. The arrangement is intended to ensure continuity and stability of care and support, while contributing to the individual's health, wellbeing, independence and quality of life outcomes.
