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 monitoring suppliers stock in UK warehouses, increasing the number of suppliers using UK manufacturers and increasing the number of suppliers on Lots 2 to 5 to ensure we can provide a continued service should issues arise with a supplier.

How to purchase from the framework

This is a direct framework agreement. You have two options to procure equipment via the framework. You can either:

• Direct award if internal Standard Financial Instructions (SFIs) are followed or
• Carry out a pricing exercise via the framework, which can be managed by our Category team.

The framework also offers opportunities for call off. If you are interested in further information, please contact our:

Ordering samples

Product samples may be 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 supplier(s) to agree requests and order on your behalf.

Product switching will be available following the start of the framework. Analysis will take place to highlight cost effective alternatives and to identify switch and rationalisation opportunities.

The framework will support mini competitions for further savings.

Sustainability, net zero and social value are important elements in how NHS Supply Chain build our framework offering through the procurement process, tendering, supplier award and contract management. There are five mandatory requirements for suppliers to address supporting compliance with relevant PPNs and NHS England policy.

• Carbon Reduction Plan (PPN 006)
• Evergreen Assessment
• Modern Slavery Assessment (PPN 009)
• Social Value (PPN 002)
• NHS England Net Zero Supplier Roadmap and Horizon Scanning

Awarded suppliers meet the current milestones on the net zero roadmap and have awareness and understanding of future milestones.
Social value
We will continue to work with suppliers across the lifetime of the framework to identify further social value initiatives.

See our Downloads ▼ section for further information on suppliers’ social value commitments.

Sustainable opportunities
The following sustainable opportunities are available on this framework:
Across the lifetime of the framework we will work with suppliers on Lot 6 to increase the number of products that can be recycled or reused. Our aim will be to give you a comparison of the cost of these refurbished products against buying new ones.
