Change:

• Due to the General Wound Care Nationally Contracted Products initiative coming to an end on 31 July 2024, we have taken the decision to revert to the originally awarded suppliers for the remainder of the framework agreement.
• This decision has been taken following customer feedback and to allow for more resilience and competition in these areas.
• There are currently no plans to delist any of the current products on the NCP competition.
• Suppliers who have expressed an interest in relisting will begin to come online from 1 August 2024.
• See our Downloads▼ section to access the product listing for further information on all suppliers and product codes on the framework.
