The figures for the full 48 months term (if extended) is circa GBP 14 600 000. These values are approximate only and are based on the most recent historical usage information.

Single Use Tourniquet with Quick Release Pull Through Fastening. These products are used in the procedure of blood sampling for restricting blood flow.

Products within this Lot include both Adult and Paediatric.

The precise quantities are unknown, however it is anticipated that the initial expenditure in the first 24 months will be circa GBP 800 000.

Applicants may Tender for either one, or both of the Product Lines within this Lot.

NHS Supply Chain anticipates appointing all applicants who meet the minimum requirements which are set out in these tender documents and whose total score meets or exceeds a hurdle of 50 % at tender evaluation stage to the relevant line of the framework agreement.

Following the final stage of the evaluation for Lot 3, Product Lines 6 and 7 there were less than 1 to 2 Applicants who had met all the necessary criteria to be awarded product line by line basis to these Product Lines. The evaluation process also determined that the successful submissions on Product Lines 6 and 7 would not provide the necessary clinical choice for a viable offer to the NHS. Therefore, NHS Supply Chain removed the 50% hurdle and awarded to all Applicants that passed all the minimum steps of the evaluation process as set out in the Section 8 of the Invitation to Tender, as communicated to Applicants on 25th November 2021 via the Jaggaer Messaging Centre.
