Description

The purpose of this framework is to offer the NHS an all-encompassing Ophthalmology solution with all products available under one framework agreement to enable the NHS to get the most economical and advantageous route to market with an avenue to realise maximum potential on savings

Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £60m to £90m 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.

An estimated maximum annual value of £90m over a (2+2 year term) = £360m

NHS Supply Chain intends to enter into arrangements under which it will be entitled to purchase supplies and/or services which it will make available for purchase by any NHS Trust, or any other NHS entity.
