This Framework Agreement terminates automatically in respect of any member whose membership of NHS LPP terminates for any reason (without prejudice to any Call off contracts that have been entered into by that member prior to termination). The supplier shall only enter into a Call off contract under the Framework with an organisation which is a member of NHS LPP at the time of exercising the Call off (and/or) who has entered into an Access agreement with NHS LPP [and the Supplier] substantially in the form set out in the appropriate Schedules.
NHS LPP reserves the option to use mini-competition processes to award some or all of the business under this Framework Agreement.
Expressions of interest must only be submitted through the eTendering portal at Delta eSourcing. The NHS LPP must not be contacted directly in relation to this contract except through the identified channels as at Section I.1.
The Framework Agreement will run for two years with an option to extend for a further 24 months. Financial estimated values do not include any possible extensions.
The contract will be governed by English Law. NHS LPP reserves the right to annul the tendering process and not award a contract.
If and when this requirement is offered to tender, this may be done in whole or in part via electronic means via the internet.
The selected suppliers will be expected to supply Interventional Radiology Consumable products, including those for Neuro and Cardiac procedures, from their range as are required by the contracting authority from time to time. Future additions to their ranges will also be included. Suppliers will be expected to offer their full ranges when submitting offers.
