Skin Stapling Framework
                    

Change:

Following the renewal of our Skin Stapling framework, we have unfortunately seen some selected price increases, on certain lines, as a result of rising raw material and energy costs.

NHS Supply Chain has worked with Lawmed to withhold these increases from trusts over the last 12 months and, whilst some lines are now affected as a result of these factors, we have kept them to a minimum.

Impact:

Please see attachment for detail on products affected.

Next steps:

To help mitigate these increases, we are currently working with our procurement teams to identify lower cost alternative products for your trust and will be in touch shortly to discuss this further:

• How you could make a smooth transition over to new products
• What the benefits could be, including how much you could save

Benefits of the renewed framework include:

• Average national saving of nearly 5% - via new contract pricing
• Save up to 78% - on certain product lines from selected suppliers
• New suppliers on framework - providing enhanced range and value
