Environmental Decontamination

This framework starts on 28 March 2022, runs for 48 months and ends on 27 March 2026. This includes a 24 month extension.

Environmental Decontamination is a new product area for NHS Supply Chain. It includes products that clean the air and rooms for use in healthcare environments. The products on offer have been widely used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by both Facilities and Estates, and Infection Control departments. The products are also regularly used as best practice throughout trusts.

This framework offers customers access to the devices, consumables, and services involved in one easy central location, to help trusts identify the appropriate equipment for their needs. Additionally, with support from our specialist category team.
