Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
The term of contracts formed under the Framework Agreement may continue beyond the end of the term of the Framework Agreement itself. NHS Supply Chain expects to provide successful Suppliers with the opportunity to offer additional savings to customers through the provision of discounted pricing value added offerings and commitment/bulk buy initiatives.
NHS Supply Chain will share savings information in order to assist its customers with making informed procurement decisions.
The Framework Agreement will be between NHS Supply Chain and the Supplier however.
1) NHS Supply Chain;
2) any NHS Trust;
3) any other NHS entity;
4) any government department agency or other statutory body (for the avoidance of doubt including local authorities); and/or
5) any private sector entity active in the UK healthcare sector will be able to enter into a direct contract with the Supplier for any of the supplies and/or services under the Framework.
The Supplier will be required to report to and pay a direct contract management fee to NHS Supply Chain as detailed in the tender documents.
The participating contracting authorities reserve the right to finance the purchase of the supplies through a lease transaction using a third party lessor. Any such financial services will be obtained by the participating contracting authorities through a separate procurement exercise and not as part of this procurement. The financial services may be sourced from the NHS Supply Chain leasing Framework Agreement.
In this event the supplier appointed to the Framework Agreement may receive from a third party lessor appointed by the participating contracting authority a purchase order for delivery to the participating contracting authority. The supplier appointed to the Framework Agreement will then be required to supply in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement.
Electronic ordering will be used and electronic invoicing will be accepted and electronic payment will be used. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the estimate indicated at II.2.1 NHS Supply Chain does not guarantee any level of purchase through the framework and advises Applicants that the framework shall be established on a non-exclusive basis.
