NHS Supply Chain seeks to establish a non-exclusive Framework Agreement for supply to NHS Supply Chain customer base via the Direct Route.

The scope of the framework is to cover all Ward and Residential Furniture used within but not limited to the following environments:

• Wards;
• Waiting Areas;
• Out Patients;
• Family Areas;
• Dining Areas;
• Lounge Areas;
• Reception Areas;
• Overnight Stay.

This Framework Agreement is for 24 months with the option to extend in incremental stages for up to a total period of 48 months.

There are a total of 20 product lines within the basket which are set out in the 'Lot Line Detail' tab and are detailed below:

Patient High Backed Chair; Visitor Stacking Chair; Bariatric Armchair; Bedside Locker; Overbed/Overchair Table; 1 Seater Settee; 2 Seater Settee; 3 Seater Settee; Wardrobe; Chest of Drawers; Dressing Table; Bedside Cabinet; Low Back Easy Chair; Stacking Chair; Dining Chair; Manual Reclining Chair; Electric Reclining Chair;

Coffee Table; Dining Table and Beam Seating.

Applicants must be able to provide at least 13 of 20 lines within the basket. If Applicants are unable to meet this requirement then NHS Supply Chain reserves the right to exclude the Applicant from the procurement process and not to consider the tender response for this Framework Agreement any further.

NHS Supply Chain anticipates awarding all Applicants who meet the minimum requirements which are set out in these tender documents and whose Average Basket Score (based on the methodology and definition as stated within Sections 8.3 - 8.5 of this document) meets or exceeds a hurdle of at least 55 % (when rounded up or down from four decimal places (as the case may be) to the nearest whole number) at tender evaluation stage will be awarded all of the product lines submitted for evaluation and should these Applicants be able over the lifetime of the Framework Agreement to supply any of the other product lines in the Basket such Applicants will be given the opportunity to do so.

Please note that Applicants must submit a bid against all evaluated product lines which they intend to supply under the Framework Agreement. If pricing has not been submitted for a particular product line and an applicant is able to supply that particular product line at the time of the Tender submission then NHS Supply Chain reserves the right to not allow the applicant (if successful) to supply that particular product line over the lifetime of the Framework Agreement.

NHS Supply Chain has taken the decision not to sub-divide this Framework Agreement into Lots on the basis that the range of products would be suitable for a basket of goods as the products are broadly similar and the total value would be more attractive to the supply base.
