ULTH and NUH are seeking to engage, pre-procurement, with providers of Enteral Nutrition Products with capability to provide an Enteral Nutrition Nursing Service. In order to help shape the requirement, we are asking that suppliers review and complete our Preliminary Market Engagement questions to provide insights which will help to inform our development of a specification and contract opportunity which is attractive to the market and helps us to improve value for money.
The aim of the planned joint procurement is to find one supplier who can deliver these products and services for both NHS Trusts. The procurement will be one process which results in two identical contracts; one for each NHS Trust.
