Orthopaedic implants

Description

The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as National Services Scotland) (“the Authority”) acting through its division procurement, commissioning and facilities is undertaking this procurement of supply and delivery of arthroscopic equipment, implants and consumables on behalf of all entities constituted pursuant to the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978 (i.e. All NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards and the Authority of other NHS Organisation established pursuant to the NHS (Scotland) Act 1978), any integrated Joint Boards established pursuant to the new Public Bodies (Joint Working) Scotland Act 2014 (collectively hereafter referred to as “Participating Authorities”). We require resection equipment for use in a wide range of NHSS Arthroscopy/sports medicine surgical procedures. Arthroscopic Resection equipment sets should allow easy and safe exploration and treatment of the joints during minimally invasive surgical management of tissue, meniscus, cartilage and ligament damage procedures. Equipment should fit together intuitively via a common connection or adaptor, and be able to be used as part of an Arthroscopic system. These will be used in an acute setting across NHSS by suitably trained personnel. Lot one (1) has been awarded as an unranked multi supplier framework to a maximum of six (6) suppliers. We require Fluid Management Equipment for use in a wide range of NHSS Arthroscopy/sports medicine surgical procedures. Arthroscopic fluid management equipment should facilitate easy and safe exploration and treatment of the joints during minimally invasive surgical management of tissue, meniscus, cartilage and ligament damage procedures. Equipment should fit together intuitively via a common connection or adaptor, be leakage free, and be able to be used as part of an arthroscopic system. These will be used in an acute setting across NHSS by suitably trained personnel. Lot two (2) has been awarded as an unranked multi supplier unranked framework to a maximum of six (6) suppliers. We require implantable Equipment for use in a wide range of NHSS Arthroscopy/ sports medicine surgical procedures. Implantable equipment should allow easy and safe treatment of joints during minimally invasive surgical procedures on tissue, meniscus, cartilage and ligament damage. Where the implants are part of a set or sub assembly, they should fit together intuitively using standard and identified tools, and be able to be used as part of an Arthroscopic system. These will be used in an acute setting across NHSS by suitably trained personnel. Lot three (3) has been awarded as an unranked multi supplier unranked framework to a maximum of seven (7) suppliers. We require single use, sterile, consumable equipment for use in a wide range of NHSS Arthroscopy/sports medicine surgical procedures. Consumables shall facilitate easy and safe treatment of the joints during minimally invasive surgical procedures on tissue, meniscus, cartilage and ligament damage. Where the consumables work as part of an Arthroscopy control unit and handpiece assembly, they should be compatible for use with a wide range of suppliers equipment as defined in Lots one (1) and two (2) and fit together intuitively using standard and identified tools, and be able to be used as part of an arthroscopic system. These will be used in an acute setting across NHSS by suitably trained personnel. This lot is intended to allow access to the framework to third (3rd) party consumable suppliers who do not manufacture their own control units, but whose products are compatible with that of those suppliers who do. Lot four (4) has been awarded as an unranked multi supplier unranked framework to a maximum of six (6) suppliers.
