The successful Provider will provide:
- Product samples for clinical evaluation where required
- Access to appropriate measurement tools
- A digital ordering platform to support efficient prescribing and ordering
- Product training and clinical advice for Trust staff
- An efficient returns and remakes policy
The Trust anticipates publishing a Tender Notice within the next 2-3 months. This Planned Procurement Notice is issued to provide the market with early visibility and to support supplier readiness. Additional information: This notice is for information only and is not a call for competition. Suppliers will need to respond to the future Tender Notice in order to participate in the procurement.
