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.

How to purchase from the framework

Products available via our Stocked and eDirect supply routes can be purchased using our online catalogue.

Important notice – for stocked products only.

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

To order products via the direct route:

• 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.
• The framework also offers opportunities for call off / direct call off agreements. If you are interested in further information, please contact the Category team.

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 or you can contact the Category team via email:

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. This will be done on an ad-hoc basis. Analysis will take place to highlight cost effective alternatives and to identify switch and rationalisation opportunities.

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

The framework will support mini competitions in all areas for further savings. If you are interested in further information, please contact the Category team to find out more.
