Framework Agreement for the Supply of Continence Goods and Services

HealthTrust Europe is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of Continence Goods & Services. The duration of the framework will be 4 years (3 year initial term with the option to extend for 12 months). The framework is split into the following lots: - Lot 1: Bulk Provision of Continence Goods and Services The scope of this lot includes: * Wearable continence products * Washable and disposable underpads * Clinical support * Bulk delivery service. - Lot 2: Home Delivery Provision of Continence Goods & Services The scope of this lot includes: * Wearable continence products * Washable and disposable underpads * Clinical support * IT management system * Home delivery service - Lot 3A: Continence & Pelvic Health Accessories The following products are included within the scope of this lot, however, this list is not exhaustive: - Catheters - Faecal management products - Bed pans and urinals - Pelvic health products Products supplied in this lot will be delivered to a central location designated by the Participating Authority. - Lot 3B: Home Delivery Provision of Continence & Pelvic Health Accessories The scope of this lot includes all the products listed under lot 3A, however, products supplied in this lot will be delivered directly to patients in the community, including individuals' homes, residential and nursing homes. - Lot 4: Aggregated Lot This lot facilitates the provision to permit Participating Authorities to tailor bespoke products and service specifications to accommodate their requirements and contractually commit in advance to purchasing a specified value and/or volume of their requirements. Requirements can be in any combination of more than one lot of the Framework. All successful suppliers are automatically awarded. TERMS AND CONDITIONS / ACTIVITY BASED INCOME (ABI) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and any resulting call-off contract is appended to the ITT. These terms include provisions requiring the payment by the supplier of an ABI management charge in consideration of the award of this Agreement, the management and administration by HTE of the overall contract structure and associated documentation, as well as the requirement to submit regular management information to HTE.

Candidates are requested to register on the Supplier Registration service at Supplier Registration Service (cabinetoffice.gov.uk) and submit their sid4gov company profile for publication on the database. Candidates already registered on Supplier Registration Service must ensure that information is up to date. Where access to sid4gov is unavailable, please contact the helpdesk at [email protected].
