Notice Information
Notice Title
National Framework Agreement for the provision of an enteral feeding accessories delivery service
Notice Description
The aim of the proposed framework is to provide products to support the use of enteral feed systems. Traditionally, organisations have obtained the accessories alongside the main enteral feed items. This framework will provide an alternative procurement route for organisations looking to source enteral feed accessories separately to the main feed items. The proposed scope is for the provision of an enteral feeding accessory products service to patients in both clinical and community settings.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Renewal: The Term of the Framework Agreement shall be two years with an option to extend twice for a further one year on each occasion. The Framework Agreement will run for a maximum four year term, however call-off Contracts may exceed this period provided that these Call-off Contracts are awarded and commence within the Framework Agreement Term.
Planning Information
The purpose of this engagement notice is to invite suppliers to participate in preliminary market engagement with a view to developing the authority's requirements and preparing tender documents. Suppliers participating in this market consultation are not guaranteed to receive either an Invitation to Tender (if Invitations to Tender are issued), or a place on any framework agreement which may be awarded following an Invitation to Tender. Please email info@coch-cps.co.uk to express interest in taking part in this market engagement process. We will then be in contact to arrange the next steps.
