## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the award stage of a tender titled "National Framework Agreement for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Services and Equipment". This procurement, classified under Surgical Hospital Services, covers two lots: the provision of neuromonitoring services and the supply of neuromonitoring equipment. The tender was published on 21st August 2018, with a tender period that ended on 17th September 2018. The contract period for awarded suppliers spans from 1st November 2018 to 31st October 2022, and delivery addresses include various regions across the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in neuromonitoring technology and services, particularly those specialising in surgical hospital services. Companies providing either the required equipment and training or the associated services are well-suited to compete in this process. The open procurement method allows for a transparent bidding opportunity, aiming to enhance surgical outcomes within NHS organisations that require these critical services and products.

## Notice

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) involves the use of physiological tests that allows for real-time assessment of the peripheral and central nervous system at risk during surgery. IONM significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic injury to the nervous system, offering early detection of reversible neurophysiologic dysfunction during surgery, thereby optimising surgical outcomes. The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, through its Commercial Procurement Services, wishes to award a national framework agreement in two lots: Lot 1 the provision of neuromonitoring services; to include equipment, consumables and professional services. This Lot is mainly intended for use by NHS Organisations that do not currently have in-house IONM services. Lot 2 the supply of neuromonitoring equipment; to include training for NHS staff using the equipment. This Lot is mainly intended for use by NHS Organisations that have in- house IONM services. Tenders may be submitted for one or both Lots. Further details of the lot structures are provided in SCHEDULE A - Framework Agreement Specification of the ITT that is linked to this opportunity. To respond to the ITT, you should log in to the NHS Sourcing portal and express interest. This will give access to the full set of ITT documents. If you wish to bid for either or both Lot(s) of this ITT, you must do so via the NHS Sourcing portal. Tenders submitted by any other means will NOT be accepted. Do not contact the Buyer directly - the instruction to do so in this Contracts Finder notice is a default setting which cannot be changed by us.
