** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** The purpose of this notice is to draw attention to a procurement that NHS Supply Chain intends to commence during the subsequent 12 months. The invitation to tender will be the subject of a separate notice and it is that notice to which potential suppliers will need to respond at the appropriate time. The following certification will be a requirement of the upcoming tender exercise and Applicants may be required to include evidence of this within their tender submission. - ISO 9001: 2015 accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation or equivalent externally accredited and up-to-date quality standard certificate(s) to cover all segments of the Applicant's (and the product's) supply chain. This should include but not be limited to manufacturing, storage, distribution and customer service. If such certificates are not in the name of the Applicant then the Applicant must supply a copy of agreements setting out the authority and responsibilities of all parties in the supply chain and provide evidence of ISO9001:2015 or equivalent for all relevant parties in the supply chain. - Public Liability Insurance cover of £5m per claim in the name of the Applicant - Product Liability Insurance cover in the name of the Applicant of £5m per claim or £5m per claim and in the annual aggregate. - Declaration of Conformity and CE Certification to demonstrate compliance to Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC or Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (where applicable). If an Applicant commits to obtain ISO9001:2015 or equivalent quality standard certificate, Public Liability Insurance or Product Liability Insurance certification at the time of their tender submission then the requirement is that such certification is in place prior to the commencement date of the framework agreement (in order for NHS Supply Chain to place orders with the successful Applicant). The NHS adopted PPN 06/20 (taking account of Social Value in the award of Government Contracts) from April 2022. As such all NHS SC Contracts going out to market after this date will include Social Value weighting. Therefore the future Framework Agreement for Tourniquet will include some qualitative evaluation questions on Social Value with a minimum weighting of 10% towards the award. For more information on Social Value and to understand what’s included in Social Value, please see: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0620-taking-a...
