Description

NHSSC seeks to establish a non-exclusive Framework Agreement (FAG) via the E-Direct and Direct Route for supply of Structural Heart Devices and Consumables. Products include Heart Valves, Annuloplasty rings and bands, and Ventricular Assisted Devices. Sutureless Valves are one of the high cost tariff excluded devices under the NHS England HCTED programme. NHS Supply Chain is the mandated route for the HCTED programme, and trusts who are commissioned to provide this service are directed to purchase all their requirements through NHS Supply Chain. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £30,000,000 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.
