National Framework Agreement for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Services and Equipment

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) involves the use of physiological tests that allows for real-time assessment of the peripheral and central nervous system at risk during surgery. IONM significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic injury to the nervous system, offering early detection of reversible neurophysiologic dysfunction during surgery, thereby optimising surgical outcomes.

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, through its Commercial Procurement Services, wishes to award a national framework agreement in two lots: Lot 1 the provision of neuromonitoring services; to include equipment, consumables and professional services. This Lot is mainly intended for use by NHS Organisations that do not currently have in-house IONM services.

Lot 2 the supply of neuromonitoring equipment; to include training for NHS staff using the equipment. This Lot is mainly intended for use by NHS Organisations that have in- house IONM services.

Tenders may be submitted for one or both Lots. Further details of the lot structures are provided in SCHEDULE A - Framework Agreement Specification of the ITT that is linked to this opportunity.

To respond to the ITT, you should log in to the NHS Sourcing portal and express interest. This will give access to the full set of ITT documents. If you wish to bid for either or both Lot(s) of this ITT, you must do so via the NHS Sourcing portal.
