Tray Wrap and Sterilisation

Tender description

This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) and not a call for competition, in advance of the procurement of a multi-supplier framework agreement for the supply of tray wrap and sterilisation products. Tray wrap and sterilisation products are used for ensuring theatre instrument trays are sterilised effectively and transported to the relevant theatres with the sterile field remaining intact. We require a range of products that enable hospital sterile service departments to run the services for their clinical departments. The range of wraps and the associated products will include: Wrapping Materials, Bags, Pouches and Reels, Sterilisation Monitoring Products and Tray Liners and Supplementary products. Lot 1: Wrapping Materials The wrapping materials include specialised tray wrap and crepe/plain paper which is utilised to wrap instrument trays prior to sterilisation to provide an inner sterile field when open. Lot 2: Bags, Pouches and Reels Bags, pouches and reels are both paper and film-based products which are used to hold single instruments which require sterilisation. These products are self-seal, heat-seal or sealed with tape and have a sterile indicator, which is activated when instruments have been sterilised. Lot 3: Sterilisation Monitoring Products The sterilisation monitoring products include indicators of sterilisation and test kits (which ensure the autoclave is operating correctly) Lot 4: Tray Liners and Supplementary Products Tray liners are used within trays underneath the instruments. They can also be used as an additional layer to ensure that there are no punctures compromising the sterile field. Supplementary products are paper based towels and sheets which are required as part of the tray’s liner.
