Award of NAC/5217 - Supply, Delivery and Installation of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs), AED Cabinets and Associated Equipment

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

There are currently a number of AED units across several different NAC services, however, there is no framework / contract in place resulting in a variance in cost, specification and lead in time for goods. The AEDs currently owned by NAC are now reaching end of life and as such funding has been allocated to replace the current stock of equipment. The aim of this contract will be to replace existing stock, provide a centralised point of purchase and to improve contract management of the AEDs across the various NAC services.
