Description

This Framework Agreement establishes a mechanism for the supply of Surgical Implants for Men's and Women's Health to NHS organisations and other eligble authorities. The Framework operates under the following principles: Route of Supply: This is a direct route of supply. To order products: Customers will need to obtain a quotation through our Category team to benefit from National Framework Agreement Pricing. Please quote the framework reference number when contacting your preferred supplier to ensure the correct pricing and compliance. Our Category team will then provide you with a Unique Reference Number (URN). This URN must be detailed on your purchase order to order the required equipment. Customers have two options to procure equipment via the framework. Trusts can either direct award if internal Standard Financial Instructions (SFIs) are followed or carry out a pricing exercise via the framework which will be managed by our Category team. Both options require trusts to request URN numbers from the Category team. Operational Requirements: Awarded Suppliers must also maintain compliance to ISO 9001: 2015 and/or ISO 13485: 2016 and/or Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) which are accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service or international equivalent.

Awarded Suppliers are required to maintain an up to date Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment. Awarded Suppliers are required to maintain Modern Slavery compliance which is monitored via the MSAT tool. Performance and Governance: Regular review meetings will be held to monitor performance, including but not limited to complaints and remedial actions. This Framework includes the rights for termination for convenience, material breach, as well as escalation and dispute resolution processes.
