Resilience

Our increased knowledge of the global manufacturing base following COVID-19 and subsequent global supply challenges, means we are better able to identify potential risks and mitigate them by building resilience into our sourcing strategies.

For this framework we are adopting measures including ensuring suppliers hold more stock in UK warehouses and providing forward trackers so that suppliers can build up contingency stock in the event of a supply disruption.

How to purchase from the framework

Products available via our Stocked and eDirect supply routes can be purchased using our online catalogue or through your own purchase-to-pay system.

Important notice – for stocked products only.

Following the move to Buy Price = Sell Price, new framework prices will only come into effect when stock of all product at the old framework price has been depleted.

Ordering samples

Product samples are available from some of the suppliers on the framework.

Please note that the decision to supply samples, along with the unit of issue, supplied quantity, time to supply and free of charge nature of any request, is solely the decision of the relevant supplier(s).

Requests for samples should initially be discussed with your NHS Supply Chain ICS Manager. They will then work with you and the respective suppliers, to agree requests and order on your behalf.

Information for Clinical Choice (ICC) will be available post Go-Live, to highlight clinical suitability of alternative products which could deliver savings.

Opportunities to adopt a National Pricing Matrix (NPM) will be available post Go-Live which will allow savings opportunities for customers who are able to consolidate their purchasing If you are interested in the savings, please speak to your NHS Supply Chain ICS Manager.

See our Useful Links section for your ICS Manager contact details.
