TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES

NHS Supply Chain seeks to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for the supply of percutaneous valve repair and replacement devices to NHS Supply Chain customers via the non-direct route of supply. Certain products within this framework agreement are classified as high cost tariff excluded devices under the NHS England Specialised ServicesDevices Programme (SSDP) (formerly known as the High-Cost Tariff-Excluded Devices programme) . Trusts who are commissioned to provide specialised services in England are directed to purchase all their SSDP requirements through a national supply route via NHS Supply Chain. It is anticipated that initial expenditure will be in the region of £130,000,000 to £160,000,000 in the first year of this framework agreement, however this is approximate only and the values may vary depending on the requirements of those bodies purchasing under the framework agreement. The estimated value over the total framework agreement term is £800,000,000
