[FOR FRAMEWORKS WHERE THERE WILL BE SOME DIRECT AND SOME NON-DIRECT PRODUCTS]
The Framework Agreement will be between NHS Supply Chain and the Supplier. Under the Framework Agreement there will be two different methods of supply - one for Non-Direct Contract Products and one for Direct Contract Products.
NHS Supply Chain will be entitled to purchase the supplies and/or services identified [in the tender documents] as Non-Direct Contract Products which it will then make available for purchase by 1) any NHS Trust; 2) any other NHS entity; 3) any government department, agency or other statutory body and/or 4) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector.
For the supplies and/or services…
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “Non-Invasive Ventilation, Sleep Therapy (CPAP) and Sleep Monitoring…” 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.
