Published requirement description

Extension Sets and Lines are products used to deliver intravenous drugs and fluids to a patient. They can be used either under gravity or more commonly by attachment to a syringe pump. The lines are available in a wide range of specifications and can incorporate features such as filters, anti-siphon valves and anti-reflux valves. These products are used in-conjunction with a number of other products for example intravenous cannulae, intravenous accessories to make up a complete system for the delivery of intravenous therapy.

Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £ 10,000,000 to £ 15,000,000 in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.

    The term of contracts formed under the Framework Agreement may continue beyond the end of the term of the Framework Agreement itself.

    NHS Supply Chain expects to provide successful Suppliers with the opportunity to offer additional savings to customers through the provision of discounted pricing, value added offerings and commitment initiatives.

    NHS Supply Chain will share savings information in order to assist its customers with making informed procurement decisions.

    NHS Supply Chain intends to enter into arrangements under which it will be entitled to purchase supplies and/or services which it will make available for purchase by 1) any NHS Trust; 2) any other NHS entity; 3) any government department, agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities) and/or 4) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector. Only NHS Supply Chain can order from the Framework Agreement and enter into contracts under it.

    Electronic ordering will be used and electronic invoicing will be accepted and electronic payment will be used. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the estimate indicated at II.2.1, NHS Supply Chain does not guarantee any level of purchase through the framework and advises Applicants that the framework shall be established on a non-exclusive basis.

  • “Extension Sets” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.

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