    "description": "This Assessment Process relates to the supply of blood glucose and ketone meters, testing strips, and associated consumables that are used to support the management of diabetes in primary care.\r\n\r\nThis assessment process seeks to support the delivery of the NHS Long-Term Plan for diabetes management through the following key objectives:\r\na. Equitable access to the same products no matter where the patient lives; \r\nb. Minimum quality standards established in a fair and transparent way to better address patient needs;\r\nc. Recommendations aligned with NICE and the availability of CGM and intermittent monitors; \r\nd. Prescribing practices are joined up across primary and secondary care; and\r\n\r\nIn January 2023, NHSE undertook an assessment to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of meters, test strips and lancets. The assessment included:\r\n\r\n\u2022 Accuracy of glucose readings\r\n\u2022 Reliability and consistency of test results\r\n\u2022 Ease of use for patients and healthcare professionals\r\n\u2022 Compatibility with various blood glucose meters\r\n\u2022 Cost-effectiveness and overall value for money\r\n\u2022 Compliance with relevant regulatory standards\r\n\r\nFollowing the assessment and the identification of the preferred blood glucose and ketone meters, testing strips and lancets, Commissioning Recommendations were published in April 2023. \r\n\r\nNHSE has recently carried out the annual review and have decided to re-open this assessment. \r\n\r\nNew Suppliers wishing to be part of the recommendations\r\nSuppliers wishing to participate in the assessment for an opportunity to be included in the updated Commissioning Recommendations are encouraged to monitor the NHS England procurement portal (Atamis) for further updates.\r\n\r\nSuppliers who are part of the current recommendations\r\nSuppliers who were successful on the first round of assessments and are listed on the commissioning recommendations need not apply for a full re-assessment, unless the specifications of their products have changed since the initial assessment. \r\n\r\nNew and Existing Suppliers will also have the opportunity to update their price. If they wish to do so, they will be required to provide evidence that they have submitted the change request to NHS Business Services Authority. Otherwise, the latest price on the drug tariff will be used in the assessment. \r\n\r\nDocuments can be accessed through the Atamis Portal http://health.atamis.co.uk/ Reference: C294473\r\n\r\nAdditional information: \r\nTo express interest and participate in the tender, please register and apply via Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.\r\n\r\nShould Tenderers have any queries, or having problems using the portal, they should contact Helpdesk at:\r\n\r\nPhone: 0800 9956035\r\n\r\nE-mail: support-health@atamis.co.uk",
