Description

Supply Chain Coordination Limited (“NHS Supply Chain”) is exploring options in developing a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Framework. NPWT includes negative pressure pumps, and the associated consumables as used throughout various departments of Acute trusts and in community settings. ygThe Framework Agreement will be between Supply Chain Coordination Limited (“NHS Supply Chain”) and the Supplier. We are currently in the process of defining the framework’s duration and structure and we will be seeking stakeholder input through continuous Supplier Engagement sessions. The current lot structure for this procurement is outlined as follows however this is under review and may be amended following consultation: Lot 1 Large Devices - For the purchase of large negative pressure pumps used predominately in an Acute setting, all of which are intended to aid in the wound healing process for both acute and chronic wounds. Lot 2 Portable Devices - Portable negative pressure wound therapy pumps are defined as able to be transported or conveyed by hand and allow patient full mobility (if needed) whilst receiving negative pressure therapy or for use in an Ambulatory care setting Lot 3 Disposable Devices - Disposable negative pressure devices are single patient use pumps and are to be disposed of once used to treat the wound for a set period. Exudate to be stored away from the wound in a cannister and/or dressing. Lot 4 Consumables - products used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy pumps. Lot 5 Pump Rental - the rental of pumps listed in lots 1 and 2. We are in the process of reviewing this structure and welcome engagement with suppliers as part of that review. Precise quantities are unknown as we are currently reviewing a range of framework term options to determine the most suitable approach. It is anticipated that initial estimated expenditure value over the total Framework Agreement term (including any extension options) will be in the region of: 4-year framework term option: £94,775,762 - £102,110,004 (excl VAT). Please note that this is an estimate only, as the final term of the Framework Agreement is still under active review during preliminary market engagement and has not yet been confirmed.
