CF Paper 2023

Description

The framework agreement will consist of a range of Paper Hygiene products. Precise quantities are unknown. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of GBP 112 000 000 to GBP 167 000 000 throughout the duration of this framework agreement (including all extension periods). However, this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the framework agreement. The forthcoming tender will have contract conditions that will require suppliers to demonstrate that they are managing ethical compliance at their organisation and manufacturing facilities. NHS Supply Chain will brief potential bidders in more detail about the exact requirements in the pre-tender phase. Details of the pre-tender webinar will be shared with all interested parties via the Jaggaer messaging system. We propose to hold a pre-tender supplier webinar (date to be confirmed - all applicants who have expressed interest in Jaggaer will be contacted) to outline the procurement exercise before the tender is published in January 2023.
