NHS Shared Business Services Limited (NHS SBS) intend to put in place a Framework Agreement for the provision of Surgical Robots,​ Consumables and Related Services​ to be used by NHS SBS Approved Organisations.
It is intended (at this stage) that this will be a single lot framework for Surgical Robots,​ Consumables and Related Services, including, but not limited to:
Capital purchase of a Surgical Robot
Rental options
Short-term and long-term leasing options
Pay-per-use payment options
Fully managed service plans
Training available via approved suppliers
Consumables and services relating to the surgical robot
(This lotting structure will be explored during the pre market engagement).
The Goods and Services will be supplied through a Framework Agreement that allows NHS Trusts (and wider public sector where applicable) access to a range of pre-approved suppliers.
The suppliers will be awarded based on their ability to meet strict quality standards and value for money. We are committed to working with suppliers who are dedicated to Sustainability and Social Value and there will be sufficient weighting on these elements in the tender.
