Due to all successful tenderers from the SQ stage who could provide Intravenous Safety Ported Cannulas also having the ability to supply Intravenous Safety Non Ported Cannulas the decision has been made to combine the 2 sub lots into 1. It was also noted in feedback from the Participating Authorities that for training and compliance purposes it would be more desirable to have one supplier only for both the Intravenous Safety Ported Cannulas and Intravenous Safety Non Ported Cannulas. This is an ongoing restricted procedure (ref — 2017/S 114-229161) and we are currently evaluating SQ submissions with a view to re issue the ITT soon.
