Applicants may bid for one, more than one or all of the Lots and Applicants should refer to the Invitation to Tender for more information in respect of this. The term of contracts formed under the Framework Agreement may continue beyond the end of the term of the Framework Agreement itself. NHS Supply Chain expects to provide successful Suppliers with the opportunity to offer additional savings to customers through the provision of discounted pricing, value added offerings and commitment initiatives. NHS Supply Chain will share savings information in order to assist its customers with making informed procurement decisions. The Framework Agreement will be between us and individual suppliers. Under it there will be two different methods of supply - one for Non-Direct Contract Goods and one for Direct Contract Goods. Non-Direct Contract Goods: Lot 1 - Syringes, Needles & Associated Products, Lot 2 - Biopsy Needles & Associated Products Direct Contract Goods: Lot 2 - Biopsy Needles & Associated Products We will be entitled to purchase the Goods identified as Non-Direct Contract Goods which we 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 (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities) and/or 4) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector. Only we can order Non-Direct Contract Goods from the Framework Agreement and enter into contracts for such Goods under it.

For the avoidance of doubt NHS Supply Chain does not guarantee any level of purchase through the framework and advises Applicants that the framework shall be established on a non-exclusive basis. Tenders and all supporting documentation for the contract must be priced in sterling and written in English. Any agreement entered into will be considered a contract made in England according to English law and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
