Ordering and Call-off: Orders are placed without reopening competition, using Direct Award procedures in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Call-off Contracts will incorporate the Core Call-off Schedules and any applicable optional clauses as specified in the Framework Award Pack. Operational Requirements: The Supplier must comply with NHS Supply Chain's Operational Requirements, maintain ISO 13485 certification, and provide Key Management Information as set out in Annex 5. Business continuity provisions include pandemic-related enhanced measures and buffer stock requirements equivalent to eight weeks' anticipated volumes. Social Value and Sustainability: The Supplier is required to maintain a Carbon Reduction Plan aligned with NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap and report progress through the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment. Modern Slavery compliance is monitored via the MSAT tool. Performance and Governance: Regular review meetings will be held to monitor performance, supported by contract management reports detailing KPIs, complaints, and remedial actions. The Framework includes rights for termination for convenience and material breach, as well as escalation and dispute resolution processes."
