Official UK procurement notice
National Framework for the Provision of an Enteral Feeding Accessories Delivery Service
Authority: Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (Central government)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe aim of the proposed framework is to provide products to support the use of enteral feed systems. Traditionally, organisations have obtained the accessories alongside the main enteral feed items. This framework will provide an alternative procurement route for organisations looking to source enteral feed accessories separately to the main feed items.
The proposed scope is for the provision of an enteral feeding accessory products service to patients in both clinical and community settings.
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s Commercial Procurement Service anticipates appointing all Bidders who score a total of 60% or more (who have met the minimum requirements which are set out in these ITT documents) to supply the products and services, as detailed within the specification at SCHEDULE A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SPECIFICATION.

- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “National Framework for the Provision of an Enteral Feeding Accessories…” 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.
