The notice has been published on Find a Tender. The East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub do not currently hold a Framework Agreement for this Product. The aims and objectives of the Framework Agreement are to provide customers with Aseptic Isolators used in the preparation of aseptic hazardous and non-hazardous products in Pharmacy Aseptic Units. Aseptic Isolators are commonly found in the pharmacy departments of hospitals and can be used for producing various medicines, including chemotherapy medicines where an aseptic environment is required.

Providers would be expected to comply with the requirements of the specification once we make it available which will likely be at the tender stage. EoECPH wishes to work collaboratively with suppliers and asks for input from suppliers as to achieving the best route to market for this product. Successful suppliers will need to provide services such as design, installation, maintenance, warranties (where applicable) and service fees, which will be included in the framework agreement. The product will also be subject to various tests. Suppliers will need to commence the service by November 2024 (This date is subject to change and is a target date. It may be slightly earlier or later.)
