Notice Description

Lot Information

Framework Agreement for the Supply, etc. of Inventory Management Systems

The NHS Collaborative Procurement Partnership (NHS CPP) comprises NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative, NHS London Procurement Partnership, NHS Commercial Solutions and East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub. NHS CPP has successfully delivered a number of projects, including the National Agency Nursing Agreement, the Total Orthopaedic Solutions (TOS) and Total Cardiology Solutions (TCS) Framework Agreements. The intricacies of managing activity in contracts let under the TOS Framework Agreement, in particular, have identified the need, in a number of organisations, for a means of managing the flow of equipment and consumable stocks through the surgical process. To meet this need NHS Commercial Solutions, as lead organisation for NHS CPP, is procuring a Framework Agreement for the provision of commercial, 'off-the-shelf', vendor-neutral inventory management systems to which a number of suppliers are appointed. This notice is a modification to a Contract in accordance with Article of Directive 2014/24/EU Art 72 for audit and business audit consultancy services. This is a 12 month extension to the existing contract awarded for audit and business audit consultancy support services, for publicly funded (in whole or in part) entities in the UK as identified within the original advertisement.
