Description

The aim of the proposed framework is to provide products to support the use of enteral feed systems. Traditionally, organisations have obtained the accessories alongside the main enteral feed items. This framework will provide an alternative procurement route for organisations looking to source enteral feed accessories separately to the main feed items. The proposed scope is for the provision of an enteral feeding accessory products service to patients in both clinical and community settings.
