UGH is acting as the lead in putting in place a Framework Agreement for the Orthopaedic Partnership Panel. The Framework Agreement will enable the award of call-off contracts for the development of hospitals and clinics across India. The successful partner/s will be required to provide the specified orthopaedic equipment to each hospital. The successful partner/s will also be expected to share a proportion of the risk in the development of each hospital and clinic by way of financial investment. The form of such financial investment will form part of the tender solutions proposed by bidders.
The framework may be extended beyond 20 years if this is operationally required to complete the large IUIH programme.
The Project has the support of the UK and Indian Governments and a joint statement has been announced between the UK's former Prime Minister David Cameron and the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Neither Government is procuring the contracts however. The purchasing authorities are entirely private entities and are not subject to EU or Indian procurement law nor the GPA.
