Trusts who are commissioned to provide specialised services in England are directed to purchase all their requirements through a national supply system through NHS Supply Chain. Details of the product categories currently within scope of the HCTED programme, can be found using the following link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/key-docs/medical-devices/ In accordance with the specialised services commissioning policy, NHS Improvement and NHS England will determine which products are classified as excluded from tariff and which are made available under the NHS England High Cost Tariff Excluded Devices (HCTED) programme. Additional information: Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS1m to PS5m in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement.",
