Delisting APS Printed Stationery Multiple Products (ICN 2728)

Change:

• The supplier APS has informed us of a discontinuation with its Printed Stationary products.
• There are 12 product codes affected.
• The product is discontinuing due to the suppliers’ contract ending and the range transitioning to another supplier.

Impact:

• 10 affected product codes are available while our remaining stocks last, they will then be delisted from our online catalogue.
• WOP000, WOP105, WOP110 and WGP021 are now being threshold managed as they are subject to Protect Demand Management to enable stock to last until the transition.
• The product codes are available to order through NHS Supply Chain. However, trusts are allocated a maximum daily quantity or “threshold” to ensure fair supply of available stock across the NHS.
• Replacement codes are in the process of being added to our online catalogue and will be available as soon as we receive stock. We will update this ICN with further information on the new product codes.
• WKN003 and WOP100 have been delisted from our online catalogue and are no longer available to order.
• One delisted product code now has a replacement code which is shown on the product listing as the alternative:
  • WKN003 – Form history sheet.
• Unfortunately, there are no alternatives available for most of the product codes until the new products codes have been set up in our online catalogue. Customers are advised to view the online catalogue for products they deem suitable in the meantime.
• See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and for a full list of product codes subject to Protect Demand Management.
