Description

NHS Supply Chain are looking to put a Biopsy framework agreement in place. Currently, the extent of the scope of the proposed framework agreement is unknown, however, we are looking to understand the biopsy market in its entirety to determine a framework agreement which meets the needs of the NHS and changing technologies. Products could include Biopsy Needles, Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Equipment & Accessories inc. Transperineal Prostate Access Devices, this is not an exhaustive list. Please include other products which you think fall within the scope of this exercise. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £7.5m to £10.5m in the first year of this Framework Agreement, 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 total Framework Agreement term (including any extension options) is £42m and includes a forecast for growth.
