Reusable Clinical and Sharps Waste Management

This Framework Agreement provides a managed reusable waste container service for clinical waste and medical sharps at NHS sites.

This includes:

1. provision of different sized reusable sharps and clinical waste containers covering waste segregation categories under HTM07-01;
2. associated container accessories;
3. a container delivery, removal, waste disposal, cleaning and reprocessing service, and
4. customer support including training, site audits and provision of management data associated with all aspects the service provision.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Framework does not cover the provision for Single Use Sharps and Clinical Waste Containers. Precise quantities are unknown. The Framework has a maximum 4-year contract period. It is estimated to be worth £11,185,799 over this 4-year duration.

It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £2,410,213 in the first year of this Framework Agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the Framework Agreement. The estimated value over the initial 2-year term of Framework Agreement will be in the region of £5,061,447. There will be an option to extend the Framework for up to a further 2 years. If the full extension period is utilised, then the total value of the Framework across the 4 years is estimated to be £11,185,799.
