## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is currently involved in a procurement process for a Framework Agreement titled "Batteries and Torches," aimed at providing various batteries and lighting solutions. This open procurement method is set against a backdrop of broader industry categorisation under "goods." The contractual period runs from 18 February 2017 to 17 February 2021, with an overall estimated value of £5 million. The deadline for tender submissions was 30 November 2016, with potential for extensions in stages for up to a total of 48 months. The Framework is applicable across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, and London, but is not subdivided into lots to attract a wider pool of suppliers.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in supplying batteries, chargers, and torches. Companies that can offer a diverse range of similar goods and demonstrate capacity for large-scale distribution throughout the UK regions may find themselves at a competitive advantage in this tender. Engaging in this Framework Agreement could lead to long-term business relationships with the NHS Supply Chain, providing a stable revenue stream over the contract duration.

## Notice

The Framework Agreement is for the supply of Batteries and Torches including but not limited to batteries (AA AAA C D AA & AAA high power 9V) and torches (LED penlight torches and LED waterproof rubber torches). This Framework Agreement is for 12 months with the option to extend in incremental stages for up to a total period of 48 months NHS Supply Chain has taken the decision not to sub-divide this Framework Agreement into Lots on the basis that the range of products would be suitable for a basket of goods as the products are broadly similar and the total value would be more attractive to the supply base. Additional information: OJEU Ref 2016/S 213-388680. CPV: 31400000, 31440000, 31521320,31411000, 31420000, 31158100, 31422000.
