What is being bought

Published requirement description

NHS Lanarkshire Health Board, a statutory body constituted pursuant to the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (“the Board”), wishes to procure the Supply of Renal Transport Services to transport passengers receiving renal dialysis treatment to the central Renal Unit located within University Hospital Monklands (“the Service”). A Specification detailing the mandatory requirements of the Board is provided in Appendix 1- Specification.

The overall objective of the framework is to provide the Board with a service to transport patients receiving renal dialysis in a timely, efficient and economic manner. Availability, punctuality and reliability of the services are essential to this contract as are issues concerning continuity of care and treatment of patients.

  • Recurrence: The Board may choose to procure another framework or contract for the provision of these services after the initial term or subsequent extensions.

CPV: Transport services (excl. Waste transport)

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for the Supply of Renal Transport Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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