"description": "The estimated value referred to in section II.1.5 and section II.2.6 covers the contract duration of the agreement. Grampian Health Board intends to award a contract to one successful Contractor for the supply of either Lot 1 or Lot 2, but not both. The Board will accept the highest ranked offer for Lot 1, unless: the quoted price exceeds the Board's budget of GBP2,619,167 (exclusive of VAT) for this procurement; or the Board considers that the offered products do not achieve a sufficient throughput for its patient load; or the Board considers that no offer adequately meets its requirements. If the Board does not award a contract for Lot 1, then the Board will consider the highest ranked offer for Lot 2. If no offers fall within the budget for this procurement or the Board considers that no offer adequately meets the requirements specified herein, then the Board may decline to accept any offer. The Lothian Health Board will award lot 3 independently of lots 1 or 2. Each Health Board will enter into a legal agreement with the successful bidder for their lot independently. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 21063. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: The contracts being awarded under this tender will be on the basis of prime contractor only. Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: It is a mandatory requirement that potential contract participants agree to support the concept, provision and ongoing development of community benefits provision in relation to this contract. Potential contract participants are required to agree to this mandatory requirement. They are also requested to provide a brief summary of the community benefits that have recently been delivered within Scotland, if at all, and also what impact and outcomes these have achieved. Potential contract participants are required to summarise any proposed community benefits that will be developed and delivered as part of this contract if successful or, alternatively, potential contract participants confirm that they will engage with the NHS Scotland's Community Benefits Gateway (CBG). This gateway, developed through requests from suppliers seeking opportunities to support the delivery of community benefits within the contracting region, provides information on community benefit opportunities. The CBG is a free and easy to use online service that connects NHS Scotland suppliers with third sector community organisations within Scotland and will be used for tracking and reporting and is an approved compliant route to the realisation of community benefits. For further information please visit NHSS - www.nss.nhs.scot/procurement-and-logistics/sustainability/access-our-community-benefit-gateway/ (SC Ref:689202)",
