Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

Description

NHS Supply Chain is establishing a Framework for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). NPWT includes negative pressure pumps, and the associated consumables as used throughout various departments of Acute trusts and in community settings under which it will be entitled to purchase supplies and/or services. Purchases are avaialble 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. The above entities can order from the Framework. Such orders may arise after a direct award or competitive selection process which only the Authority will be entitled to carry out under the Framework, unless our express written consent is provided. The Framework includes the following requirements which have been sub-divided into Lots: Lot 1: NPWT Pumps, Rental and Pump Accessories Lot 2: NPWT Consumables The Authority estimates that expenditure for the supply of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy products during the first 12 months will be in the region of £24,360,177. The total estimated value for the 48-month term is expected to be around £113,055,580 excluding VAT. These figures are indicative only and are based on the most recent historical usage data, along with forecasted future usage. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the estimate indicated, NHSSC does not guarantee any level of purchase through the framework and advises Suppliers that the framework has been established on a non-exclusive basis. The Authority wishes to reserve the right to modify the Framework Agreement in accordance with Section 74 and Schedule 8, Para 1 of the Act (possibility of the modification is unambiguously provided for in the contract) to permit Range Extensions. Please refer to the Invitation to Tender and clause 21.2 of Schedule 2 of the Framework Agreement for further details ## Contract award Title: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Lots: - Lot 1: NPWT Pumps, Rental and Pump Accessories - Lot 2: NPWT Consumables
