Tender description

NHS Supply Chain seeks to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for supply to NHS Supply Chain depots via the Stock and Blue Diamond routes and to the NHS Supply Chain customer base via the e-Direct Route. It is a mandatory requirement to submit pricing for the Stock route, and the evaluation will be based on this price. The framework agreement is for the supply of blood pressure cuffs and support products including single patient multi use, multiple patient use, packs and support products. It is anticipated that in the first 24 months of the framework agreement the value of purchases will be in the region of GBP 6 000 000 and GBP 6 800 000. For the full 48 month term (if extended) the anticipated value is circa GBP 13 600 000. These values are approximate only and are based on the most recent historical usage information, with a forecasted level of growth. The values provided are for guidance only and are not a guarantee of business. This framework agreement is for the supply of blood pressure cuffs and support products for use in the health care environment. Blood pressure cuffs are used for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Cuffs must be available in sizes suitable for use in a healthcare environment. Cuffs must be provided in line with the sizing detailed against each Product Line. It is not a requirement that a cuff bid against a Product Line covers the entire range specifies, but part of it.
