## Summary

The NHS Supply Chain is seeking suppliers for a Framework Agreement to provide Hearing Aid Batteries, with an estimated initial expenditure of approximately £4.5 to £5 million in the first year and a total potential value of £20 million over the contract term running from 1st March 2021 to 28th February 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure, and suppliers are required to deliver the batteries primarily within England. The tender was awarded on 6th October 2020, and the relevant procurement process has now reached completion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in the supply of goods such as batteries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to accommodate various suppliers. Companies experienced in dealing with health sector contracts would find this tender particularly suitable, allowing them to tap into a substantial market related to NHS operations.

## Notice

NHS Supply Chain seeks to establish a non-exclusive Framework Agreement (FAG) for supply of Hearing Aid Batteries to NHS Supply Chain depots via the Stock route. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of PS4.5 to PS5m in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement. The estimated value over the total framework agreement term (including any extension options (2 + 2 year term) is GBP 20 000 000.
