Respiratory Solutions

This framework starts on 1 August 2022, runs for 48 months and ends on 31 July 2026. This includes a 24 month extension.

The Respiratory Solutions Framework is not looking to rationalise in this area but rather to create a single platform that provides access to all suppliers for all technologies and products to be available in the marketplace.

It will contain 41 suppliers across 6 lots of product:

• Lot 1 – Oxygen Therapy
• Lot 2 – Aerosol Therapy
• Lot 3 – Respiratory Therapy
• Lot 4 – Anaesthesia and Resuscitation
• Lot 5 – Diagnostics – this is a new lot which has been developed in conjunction with respiratory specialists to support ease of procurement both supplier and clinical
• Lot 6 – Sterile Water for humidification.

These products are used for respiratory disease mainly to treat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) related problems, or to train anaesthetists to use similar devices.
