- Technical & professional ability
All tendered products must fully comply with the Requirement Documents
included within the tender.
Minimum level(s) of standards required:
- If awarded to the Framework Potential Framework Participants must
provide evidence that tendered products are CE marked, or will have
obtained a CE mark prior to the products being available for purchase,
complying with Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. Evidence should be in
form of a certificate of compliance issued by a UKAS (or equivalent)
accredited independent third party.

prove that they hold ISO 13485 certification or equivalent or are in the
process of obtaining certification.
- All tendered pricing must be inclusive of delivery.

- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Defibrillators” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
