This procurement process falls under the category of surgical implants and hearing aids, with an anticipated initial expenditure of £43 million in the first year and a total estimated value of £185 million. The tender period for this contract was active until 16 December 2019, with the contract scheduled to commence on 22 July 2020 and run until 21 July 2024, covering a wide range of delivery locations across the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) in the medical device industry. Companies specialising in the manufacture of audiological devices and related products will find this framework particularly relevant, allowing them to engage with the NHS and expand their offerings to a broad customer base within the healthcare sector. With potential for additional savings through competitive pricing and bulk buy initiatives, there is ample opportunity for businesses to establish fruitful partnerships in this sector. ## Notice NHSSC seeks to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement (FAG) for supply to NHSSC customer base via the non-direct and direct route, to supply audiological implantable devices, associated accessories, consumables, maintenance and repair. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of 43 000 000 GBP in the first year of this FAG, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the FAG. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ae6b2c5-a86c-4bfa-bd53-1e3bf36681cf | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2019 | | Award date | 6 Apr 2020 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2020 - 31 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £185,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £185 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SUPPLY CHAIN | | Locality | NORMANTON | | Post town | Wakefield | | Postcode | WF6 1TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE45 Wakefield | | Local authority | Wakefield | | Electoral ward | Normanton | | Westminster constituency | Normanton and Hemsworth | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | ADVANCED BIONICS; COCHLEAR EUROPE; MED-EL; OTICON | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33184100 - Surgical implants - 33185000 - Hearing aids ## Release History - 23 Apr 2020 at 07:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ae6b2c5-a86c-4bfa-bd53-1e3bf36681cf - 21 Nov 2019 at 09:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb0d3ebd-fcda-4d88-841d-b88e60ccf0b5 - 24 Jan 2019 at 15:06 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba45a531-85a4-44d4-b658-889b13239037 - 8 Jun 2018 at 08:55 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8efcc05c-6add-461b-86cc-1347f9f4f715 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ae6b2c5-a86c-4bfa-bd53-1e3bf36681cf 23rd April 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb0d3ebd-fcda-4d88-841d-b88e60ccf0b5 21st November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba45a531-85a4-44d4-b658-889b13239037 24th January 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8efcc05c-6add-461b-86cc-1347f9f4f715 8th June 2018 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2343cb2a-36da-4457-974a-eb5479a1db31 PIN Notice - http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:232454-2018:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0 PIN Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dbb638f2-c458-4008-99d7-3c09560922e5 Audiological Implantable Devices and Associated Accessories, Consumables, Maintenance and Repair - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b1f00103-91a2-44d9-a0d2-8bbbac7af022 Audiological Implantable Devices and Associated Accessories, Consumables, Maintenance and Repair - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:546491-2019:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
