## Summary

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has awarded contracts under the Total Pharmaceutical Gas Solutions framework, which spans across the UK and involves the supply of medical gases and associated services.

Key participants include East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement hub, NHS Commercial Solutions, NHS London Procurement Partnership, and North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative. The framework runs for four years starting from 1 July 2024, encompassing four lots: liquid medical oxygen, medical gas cylinders with tracking for hospitals, nitric oxide therapy, and ambulance medical gas cylinders.

With four distinct lots covering diverse requirements such as liquid oxygen storage equipment, cylinder tracking systems, and nitric oxide therapy, various companies from small to large can compete and secure contracts.
