How to purchase from the framework

This is a direct framework agreement. To order products:

• Customers will need to obtain a quotation through our Category team to benefit from National Framework Agreement Pricing. Please quote the framework reference number when contacting your preferred supplier to ensure the correct pricing and compliance.
• Our Category team will then provide you with a Unique Reference Number (URN). This URN must be detailed on your purchase order to order the required equipment.
• Customers have two options to procure equipment via the framework. Trusts can either direct award if internal Standard Financial Instructions (SFIs) are followed or carry out a pricing exercise via the framework which will be managed by our Category team. Both options require trusts to request URN numbers from the Category team.
• See our Downloads ▼ section for contact information for direct suppliers on this framework agreement and to view our Surgical Implants for Men’s and Women’s Health Buying Guide.

Following go‑live, National Pricing Matrix (NPM) will no longer be available. Commitment‑based deals will be introduced in their place.

Opportunities to adopt a commitment-based deal will be available three months after 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 NHS Supply Chain ICS Manager contact details.
