- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Medical Chart Paper and Ultrasound Film” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

On receipt of an expression of interest, the Authority will issue the Supplier with a request for information (RFI) document.

- Information provided regarding the current supply to which Trusts and centres
- Information on preferred route with the NHS Supply Chain and lead time
- Sustainability, including (but not limited to) resource efficiency, use of raw materials, packaging, carbon reduction and labour standards.
All responses to the RFI must be supplied to the following email address: ([email protected]) and must include a reference to the applicable Lot number in the email title to enable this to be reviewed, by no later than 16:00 GMT on 3rd February 2026. IMPORTANT NOTE: all further communications in respect of this PME will be communicated via the [email protected] mailbox to Suppliers that have registered interest.
For Lot 1 and Lot 2 it is intended that any initial expressions of interest will be reviewed alongside any supplier input via the RFI. Once reviewed you may be offered an opportunity to attend individual meetings. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact [email protected].
