What is being bought

Published requirement 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 £6,000,000 and £6,800,000. For the full 48 month term (if extended) the anticipated value is circa £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.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Blood Pressure Cuffs and Support Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
