Technical requirements: The NHS Collaborative Procurement Partnership (NHS CPP) comprises NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative, NHS London Procurement Partnership, NHS Commercial Solutions and East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub. NHS CPP has successfully delivered a number of projects, including the National Agency Nursing Agreement, the Total Orthopaedic Solutions (TOS) and Total Cardiology Solutions (TCS) Framework Agreements.
The intricacies of managing activity in contracts let under the TOS Framework Agreement, in particular, have identified the need, in a number of organisations, for a means of managing the flow of equipment and consumable stocks through the surgical process. To meet this need NHS Commercial Solutions, as lead organisation for NHS CPP, is procuring a Framework Agreement for the provision of commercial, ‘off-the-shelf’, vendor-neutral inventory management systems to which a number of suppliers will be appointed.
The services will be carried out at the premises of the Procuring Authority and/or the Service Provider.
The Framework Agreement will be available to all organisations detailed in Section VI.3) of this Contract Notice (each, a ‘Participating Authority’).
The public sector bodies to whom the use of this framework agreement will be open include, in particular, the following in the United Kingdom and their respective statutory successors and organisations created as a result of re-organisations or organisational changes, and any private sector entities having similar procurement needs.
— National Health Service (NHS) bodies in England, including acute Trusts (including those operating community hospitals and the provider functions of the former Primary Care Trusts), Care Trusts, Mental Health Trusts, Ambulance Trusts, any of which may be an NHS Foundation Trust, and Clinical Support Units (CSU's), Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG's), General Practitioners and General Practitioner commissioning consortia, Special Health Authorities and Area Teams (See http://www.nhs.uk/ServiceDirectories/Pages/NHSTrustListing.aspx);

The Authority will incorporate a standstill period at the point of information on the award of the framework agreement is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide a full information on the award decision.
The standstill period which shall be for a minimum of 10 calender days provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the framework agreement is concluded.
