Supply of water filters for medical water filtration

Tender description

From 1st July 2019 University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) became the host of a new NHS Shared Procurement Service, called the Birmingham Hospital Alliance NHS Shared Procurement Service. Subsequently, in April 2021 the service was renamed as the BSOL Procurement Collaborative, in order to align the service with the future National direction in moving towards an Integrated Care System (ICS) across the region. The service consists of three NHS Trusts; UHB, Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust (BWC) and the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (ROH). The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has a requirement to set up a contract for the supply of water filters for medical water filtration. The two organisations initially involved are University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UHBNHSFT)-the largest acute provider in the country covering both the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston and the group of three hospitals formerly Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull hospitals). In addition to these two organisations, the award of the contract provides that any other health-care organisation within the BSOL Procurement Collaborative would be able to join this contract any any-time during the contract period if they so wish. Each NHS Trust remain as separate legal entities. The BSOL Procurement Collaborative is looking to put a contract in place for the supply of water filters for medical water filtration. These are currently used in ITU, Burns and Ward 623/625 at the QEH. There is also a minimal usage at BHH Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Vanguard Endoscopy Unit.
