Legal Justification

The Health Board requires continuity of supply for Electronic Test Requesting Bags and Labels, which are critical to the GP Test Requesting and Results Reporting Service integrated with TrakCare LIMS. These products are essential for safe and efficient specimen handling across multiple clinical areas. Jones & Brooks Limited is the incumbent supplier whose products have been fully evaluated and approved for compliance with Health Board standards. No alternative supplier can meet the technical specifications, integration requirements, and operational standards without significant risk to patient care and service continuity. Changing 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.
