## Notice

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services on behalf of Health Courier Services and Supply Chain are looking to engage the market to establish a framework agreement consisting up to twelve well-equipped suppliers, a maximum of three suppliers per lot, to provide Stores Handling Equipment for four regional Supply Chain Warehouses across Wales. This framework will encompass not only the supply of the equipment but also associated training and maintenance services for the Denbigh, Bridgend, Picketston, and Newport (NDC) Regional Warehouses. The framework will involve a combination of lease/rental and maintenance-only arrangements. The specification includes the current inventory of equipment, both leased and owned. However, Supply Chain cannot guarantee a minimum or maximum number of call-offs under this contract. The contract will be divided into four (4) geographical lots, each corresponding to a regional warehouse: Denbigh, Bridgend, Picketston, and Newport (NDC).

It is not a requirement to bid against all Lots, please only bid against the lots you wish to be considered for. Regardless of the lots that you bid for, only one technical response will be required. A maximum of three (3) suppliers will be awarded per lot. Upon award, the suppliers will be ranked from one (1) to three (3) based on their technical and commercial response. The awarding process will follow a sequential approach, with the first-ranked supplier in each lot being the primary choice. If the first-ranked supplier is unavailable or unable to fulfill the requirements, the award will then cascade down to the second-ranked supplier and so forth, ensuring a systematic selection process. This tiered ranking system allows the Trust to secure services from the preferred supplier while providing a contingency plan in case the top-ranked option is not available, thereby ensuring a streamlined and adaptable procurement process.
