    Applicants should refer to II.2 of this Contract Notice for further details in respect of appointment to 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

    department, agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities) and/or 4)

    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.1.5, NHS Supply Chain does not

  • “Intravenous Cannula and Associated Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 13 suppliers, not a single contract.

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