## Summary

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is conducting an open tender for the "National Framework for the Provision of an Enteral Feeding Accessories Delivery Service." This procurement falls under the health industry category, specifically focusing on miscellaneous medical devices and products. The contract aims to establish a framework that allows organisations to procure enteral feeding accessories separately, enhancing accessibility for patients in clinical and community settings. The tender period is active, with a deadline for bid submissions on 3rd May 2022, and the anticipated contract value is approximately £5 million.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for suppliers of medical devices, particularly those specialising in enteral feeding systems and accessories. Companies that can demonstrate high-quality products, reliable delivery mechanisms, and robust patient management and contract support services would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the procurement method being an open procedure, it allows for a broad range of businesses to participate, encouraging innovation and competitive pricing in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The aim of the proposed framework is to provide products to support the use of enteral feed systems. Traditionally, organisations have obtained the accessories alongside the main enteral feed items. This framework will provide an alternative procurement route for organisations looking to source enteral feed accessories separately to the main feed items. The proposed scope is for the provision of an enteral feeding accessory products service to patients in both clinical and community settings. The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Commercial Procurement Service anticipates appointing all Bidders who score a total of 60% or more (who have met the minimum requirements which are set out in these ITT documents) to supply the products and services, as detailed within the specification at SCHEDULE A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SPECIFICATION.
